Just got the other accord recharged with R12, had to go in and change out the a/c thermostat. Swapped out the condenser as well.
I'm chillin:D

I don't think I've ever used air conditioning in a car...
Is that because of the Pacific northwest weather up there? I'm thinking of retirement up that way in about another 5-7 years.
i love my r134a $10 bucks to charge ftw i just wish my ac idle up worked so i could enjoy ac when idleing lol
That, and I like it hot. I prefer my windows down.Quote:

Take a month long trip before you buy. Just my suggestion. Ive seen every hill in this state and been on probably every road. The joys of cellular work is you work on every tower. Oh and they have alot of towers up here.Quote:

R12 is illegal here and you cant even get r134 unless you are qualified to use it.
laws must be pretty relaxed over there eh
just put LPG into your aircon and it will work(Y) just dont crash or burn your ac system haha
it doesnt get hot enough over here to need air con, windows down ftw
Hell yeah! Just finished the full overhaul of my system. Parallel flow condenser with r12 is retardedly cold and efficient.
I love cold A/C too. It's not really hot for long periods of time here but it does get really humid. A/C does a great job at dehumidifying.
wait until you turn 25 or so and realize that you rather be comfortable than "cool" no pun intended. Then if you have an office job, forget it...a/c will be your best friend.Quote:

So you like that parallel flow condenser? I just might have to retrofit one in.Quote:

If you serviced your evaporator/blower housing it wouldn't be stale air.Quote:

I refilled about 1/2 lb of freon and it's been fine since. Gotta love Honda.
maybe not in stratford mate, but invers gets pretty warm. lolQuote:

Has anyone tried using AutoFrost to charge your R12? Mine isn't cooling well and I can see clutch kicking in but they are giving me a fit trying to find R12. It's 97 with a humidity of 70 something. Since it is low could I half ass it and throw 134 on top of R12? I know it is not recommended but has anyone done it?
NO, you cannot mix R12 and R134a.
Well, I still have eight years.Quote:

I do. If you wait another week or two I can compare vent temps with an 89, fully rebuilt with a properly cleaned and straightened stock condenser, then make your decision.Quote:
