a/c removal for nc - 2f legal?

Postby ansellpa » Wed Jan 09, 2013 12:50 pm

Can't seem to find much on this in the cams rules, unless I am looking inthe wrong place.

Anyone know of the legality around removing the condensor, I have heard you can get a non A/c idler pulley from the staes.
Just wanting to simplify things, remove weight.
From what I hear, most nc's still retain the a/c - any reason?

thanks

2f: Item 12.7 - "Air conditioner: All components solely associated with a refrigerated air conditioning system may be disconnected or removed."

Go for it - sweat away :D

Makes sense, else 2f guys would only be buying non-aircon (and non-PS?) cars.

haha! Thanks for the info. Yes. I saw a few people with cool suits at the qr 1 hr.
I am sure a cool suit and esky full of water weighs a lot more than an ac compressor ever did

One of the best bag for your buck weight-loss things - apart from giving up the ice cream and beer .....

Scratching my head now for what else I can take out that is worthwhile.
