Are you serious do you really think they would put out a kit that deleted the a/c. Come on maybe a full blown race kit but this is for daily driving and they would lose tons of customers without a/c.

The stock A/C is retained with this kit, of course. As I mentioned previously, the only reason the JDM car didn't have an a/c was because that's the way it came from the factory. And let me tell you, they regret the hell out of that particular feature!

I do find the twins get hot really fast

cant wait been eyeing this kit but most likely in a year or 2. too much too quick makes Mr.Jay a broke boy

who the hell buys a car without AC?! appart from the lack of comfort I can see tremendously hurting the relsale value of a car.
besides is it a cost saving? cost weighs saving is insignificant and retarded.
just saying...
back to subject.

Not everyone buys a car to keep it. AC unit's weight a lot and to people who wanna turn this car into a serious track beast, its a great place to start. Maybe your standard of " Insignificant and retarded " is different than someone else.

To the guys setting records and a step to that being removing their AC for weight reduction, are they retarded?....Just saying.

The only and lowest tune (Stage 1 kit), made 250 whp and 222 wtq in Japan. The kit will be installed in the USA AVO car soon, and Dyno run again to see how it does with American gas (should not be much difference). This is at only 5 psi.

In Japan they offered 3 versions.
The GTS, GT, and the stripped down version. The last one was built for the wanting to race. It had steel wheels. No air con and a few other deletions.
