removing air con for speed?

[green_machine]

yo!
i got told that removing the air con from my 1.6 sport will make it faster, not only cos the ac unit is heavy, but also because it runs off the belt slowing it down? is this true or would it only be true if the air con was turned on? thanks

Won't be much faster. You probably won't notice it.

[green_machine]

to be fair, i can notice a power decrease when the ac is turned on...

it will a bit as with anythign your making it lighter so the more you take out then yea.

but tbh if its a road car your just as well keeping it in really.

It's only going to make a difference when combined with wide scale weight reduction. One item won't make much difference, but lots of weight saving will equal a big difference.

Like I said, removing the air con won't make much difference at all on it's own.

soundo i'll keep it in then! thanks ma dawgs
