This has been random internet car talk.

UPDATE!

Decided to give the AC Pro a chance as calls to various shops gave me estimated appointment dates of sometime after the apocalypse and it's 90s this week. Worst part was accessing the low pressure access port on an acadia which is located where no fully grown adult man's hand can reach. My wife was just barely able to get here hand in there to hook it up. Took it for a test drive and it's cold.

So the issue is clearly the refrigerant; hopefully the system stays sufficiently sealed and that will be that. For $35 and 15 minutes of our time, worth a shot.

Did you run the numbers on the 958?

That's where my excursion into lunacy started. Currently around $8700/year (or it will be in Oct). 996 is about $5700/year (as of March). Oddly I feel better about the P!g's number than I do about the 996's. Not sure why...

POS BMW is at $3300/year and NADA says that even if I polish that turd up really well it's still only worth about $3100 (though to be fair, it would be a hell of a car to pick up for $3100)

AC Pro worked for me on my 996. Two summers later, the air is still ice cold.

You think it will work on an '87 Bertone X1/9?

Looks perfect for the next SDRPCA autocross.
