That would be a fun driving experience, except for entry and exit. I was surprised that even Lauren, being a little shorter, had trouble entering the cockpit.

@handsonwithblg4949 says:

I hope you had the owner sign a waver before the install . If I could ever afford a Lotus I would without question spend the money for the factory compressor .

@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 says:

Lotus, reliable engine and I believe transmission. Good handling cars when new. That's my thoughts, not much.

@RichThiele says:

Bigger pulley also MIGHT need a slightly longer belt.

@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 says:

You might have to open up Ray's Parts Store where the part number on the box is part inside the box and where the part inside the box is new. All to get the proper parts.

@lxxsxxx7845 says:

55F out of the vents on the hwy? That is not an acceptable result. I wonder how soon the customer will come back with a complaint that "you" installed his part wrong because the AC isn't cold enough.

@williamstanton1559 says:

…that one's in. Next one… SQUIRL!!!

@dbfcrell8300 says:

I figured the car was so cool, it didn't need ac

@snipusmaximus says:

Seeing those pressure bumps on the high side…yeah that car is coming back in a few months for the replacement AC failure

@richardgordon245 says:

Interesting how they can make parts in a engine compartment.

@william-bassman says:

You made it work Ray. Outstanding.
SALUTE

@stanauxier8274 says:

My two cents… If you can affort to own a Lotus…. Buy the fifteen hundred dollar compressor… You will not regret it…. Problem solved…

@mgunning7362 says:

Run away ray, using chinese parts to fix a UK lotus can only go bad. RUN AWAY.
