I have ac lines for my rx8 challenge car.  It's in budget (was this year too, just didn't make my budget book for my rookie event).  

 

I want ac.  I have lines.  The compressor is already in budget (mainly because I'm using it as my belt tensioner).

 

I would like to have ac this year.  The ac lines are probably not in budget.  I would hate to make the system work and then remove the lines and need to recharge everything just for the budget in April's challenge.

 

What say yall?  Ac lines are obviously not a performance improvement, but I understand the budget is the budget.  

 

Weird one, I know.

Sorry, but there's no exemption for A/C lines. The system needs to be in your budget.

Sucks I'll have to let the juices out just to be in budget and then put them back.  But, I get it.

In reply to wvumtnbkr :

Did the car have working AC when you got it?

I wish.  The majority of the engine bay parts were in the trunk.  Lol.

Do you need a set of stock rx8 lines? I may know a guy.

Unfortunately, no.  They are custom to go to the tiny sanden compressor in a totally different location than the stock compressor.

 

Thanks anyway!
