Re-sale= YES

Track Slag= NO (eats up too much weight)

Im sure there was tests done on a normal road car with fuel economy with air con on and one with no air con and window down, the drag created by the window was only a tiny amount (im talking tenth of a mile) better than the air-con so dont worry about economy LOL

However no aircon would save weight therefore reducing load on tyres, fuel economy and handling ....all be it only a tiny amount (it may not even be noticeable tbh)

i took mine out, was either that or sooner or later i was going to end up with a fire cos the pipe that loops back up round by the exhaust mani used to keep touching the manifold and so if you look at my avatar youll see what happens to my manifold when on full boost in fifth gear :)

i then removed the pump and rest of the pipework in the engine bay :)

the pipes are very thin and soft metal so be carefull cos they are aalso very high presure, oh and the gas is toxic so dont breathe it in :)

When I had a subaru I took the air con belt off and it made a bit of different to the power my mate took his aircon out and gained about 15percent more power so he told me but you could actually feel the power difference in his motor got my aircon belt and unit in my Evo as it gets too hot nowadays in the summers and if your on the motorway then the window down is too noisy so I hope that helps you make your decision mate.
