In today's video I show you how to fix your AC system. This fix can work on P1 Volvo's and may work for other vehicles with similar compressor designs as well. The fix is accomplished using small zip ties on the AC compressor clutch to reduce the gap between the clutch and the pulley. This gap widens over time with use and therefore will typically occur on higher mileage vehicles, however, wear...

    Totally agree. I just bought a 2014 GT PRHT 6 speed and I love it. It's not ugly at all; it definitely has aged well. I felt like I paid a little more than I originally wanted to, but I do think they will hold their value well. Nice video; thanks.

  • @Swarm509
    @Swarm509 10 днів тому

    Haven't finished the video but the NC is in an interesting position. They are the sweet spot for being single owner cars, the people who bought them are moving onto something else or getting rid of them for whatever reason and you can find everything from the old man garage queen (fair weather only driving, but poor maintenance) to the well used and maintained everyday driver, to bagged out units the owner really enjoyed and should be really cheap. The majority I see locally are really clean examples with low mileage. I would say the ND is the better car overall if you can swing it even with the early models (nearly 10 years old now!) but the NC is a slept on car. A nice bonus is that it a car made just before everything went crazy digital with screens and such, so you are getting a pretty simple machine that should age well. And even as the "biggest" MX5 it is still tiny compared to almost anything else on the road today. Personally I am not looking for a project car so a new ND is probably in my future, but I would be hard pressed to say no to a clean NC.

    Something to consider when sticking solid items to mesh is that mesh itself doesnt have a huge surface area to stick to. You are literally sticking items to strands of wire. One way round this is to take another piece of tape and sandwich the mesh between the two pieces of tape. So your emblem from the front and another piece of tape from the back. The adhesive on the tape will stick to each peice very strongly and will never come off

    Awesome vid -- but my heart always goes back to C5 corvette which you did not mention. It is a much more serious car but has all the pluses of a miata. It even gets better highway mileage if you can believe that. Now, C5's might be a bit more maintenance considering their age and cost of tires etc, but they are at least twice the car of a miata. When I cross shopped Miatas & Boxsters 4 years ago I ended up with a Boxster S but that car is gone now. Time for the Vette to take its place. However, I still keep my pulse on the Miatas. Just throwing it out there for yall. If you want to track a car CHEAP - Miata is the ONLY answer.

The only hope it'll improve in the future. But honestly I'd be in alot of troubles if I'd be looking for a car in 5 years or so.
