  • Who needs AC in a race car? Honestly it's kind of nice, but we're deleting it today in the time attack FRS so we can save some weight! It's a pretty easy process that's straightforward as well so let me show you what we need to do!

    Just a heads up that sensor that you doing know what is it it’s your “ambient air temperature sensor” make sure you put it in a nice sturdy place that gets lots of fresh air! I learned the hard way I put my oil cooler in front of it and my car didn’t want to run right until I figured it out and moved the sensor.

    Great video, but when are those FTSpeed decals coming off? They don't deserve you promoting their brand anymore!
    Everything is surprisingly light on the FRS/BRZ and therefore weight reduction is often expensive stuff rather than just stripping out weight. It's part of what makes the FRS/BRZ so easy to work on. The real AC weight reduction comes from pulling the whole WVAC system which would mean no heater or fans.

    I have a serious question for anyone who knows the answer. Why do you need a pulley to replace where the compressor was and re install that belt? If all it does it connect that to the crank, couldn't you just leave everything off?

      Because the original belt would be too long and wouldn't work.
