huff3r Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Looking to remove the AC from a project track car, and wanting to do it safely and legally. Can anyone suggest who I'd be able to convince to come out to Sanson and de-gas it for me? And any guesses on how much I'd be spending? Ps. Hope this is the right place to ask? Pps. Semi-related, anyone need an E36 aircon system? Blows cold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thermo King, enviro safe, or someone like that will probably happily attend and de-gas (at a cost I'm sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car has been pretty cheap so far, and I should be able to sell the AC bits for enough to cover it twice over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huff3r Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Well the $163.30 quote put a damper on that idea, that's a tad too much! Will try a few other places and see how I get on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Got a friend who is an aircon tech. They charge for degassing but just vent it to atmosphere. Could be money wasted is my opinion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave123456789 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 just discharge it yourself outside, not in a garage. spend your $163 on greenie save the world products and your have basically equalled out the damage. edit: its a track car, your saving the environment by not driving it daily. already a hero 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huff3r Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Whats your E36 race car plans? I intend to do similar, picking up a coupe mid Nov. Super low key, it's staying a 1.6... for now. Hoping to do a round of 24H of Lemons next year, so just strip it, rollcage and race seat, and I might have some change spare for some springs (spent $800 of $999 max - safety bits dont count) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
