Interesting that he drove the compressor off the intake cam. I considered that on my car but being belt driven, what happens to the belt when the compressor turns on was a concern. I guess the chain takes care of that but I think I would prefer to drive it off the crank instead.
he A/C kits at the time were driven off the crank and the battery was moved. Now that batteries are so much smaller and lighter, there are more options for relocating it. I like JB's ducting in the front trunk better also.
Is that an oil cooler or a condenser hanging from the back (my Japanese is a bit rusty)? I'm not a fan of that either but then if it's an oil cooler, it probably works better than mine!
No gas struts?!!
Having said all that, it is a very pretty car. It's a very clean build. It is very nicely done! A really beautiful car!
