ok after reading all of the completed swaps. no one ever mentioned having to move the ac and cruise control and i thought this was a problem. does the ac need to be moved with high pressure lines? and does the cruise control need to be mounted elsewhere? thanks

OK, so if a car came with both... would you ask the dealer to dismantle the unit because you feel that a sports car should not come equiped with these extra features? If a sports car came equiped with all these extra features, I wouldn't complain. I'd just enjoy the car and take it for what it is. *sigh


true sports cars dont come with these features. the lotus elise released soon in the us is an example of this. Theyve had to add many more comfort car features otherwise you guys wouldnt buy it. comfort is a compromise in most cases. nowadays you pay more for the manufacturer to return the car back to a race car from a tourer. the porsche gt3 rs is a case in point, as is the honda nsx type r. Imagine someone going into a ferrari garage asking for cruise control, it would be extremely stupid.

it all boils down to what you want in a car. If you want a bit more pep thats fine, then you can keep all the creature comforts. But if you want a car that drives fast, brakes well and handles well then unless you're planning to buy a merc mclaren sl with millions of dollars of RnD then you wouldnt keep these things in your car.

..."dude, why dont you have CC or A/C?"


your answer to that is : because i drive a sports car dammit!

funny cos over here if someone did a 3sgte conversion over here it would be 'dude, why havent you got 4wd??'

at the end of the day i understand your argument, doesnt mean i have to agree. My gt4 serves the purpose of taking me places. I control it and it knows that lol! why would i want to hand over control to electronics of a job i can do perfectly well myself.

this country is made up of many corners wheras you guys have many straight long roads. thats probably the reason you love cc so much
