    Hardly used AC dies at 124k

    so on the way from school it started to pour heavy rain, windows started to fog up. I cut the ac on and nothing i was like hmmmmmmmmm ok. Got home, lifted the amazingly hott looking CF hood and checked to see if anything happened...for sure my AC belt has skipped, it ended bending my whole AC pulley and bending my entire AC system....talking about luck huh....may be i dont really need it, since i hardly used it...here we go some weight reduction....kind of makes me upset that that happened, AC was hardly used, and i blew Artic cold air...

    Seth may be we didnt tightned something up correctly when we changed that timing belt? what do you think?

    If you don't use the AC it will die, under use is one of the top killers for AC systems in cars.

    Probably the bearings and other internal parts in the compressor seized due to no lubrication that would happen if it was in normal use. Also the a/c clutch may of failed too.
