In my opinion, spending 7k on old AC R12 type is not advisable. Maruti 800s AC are efficient, but pickup is lost and an old engine lacks power. Maximum of Rs 2500-3000 can be spent. Get compression test done before spending on AC.

bro i have recently rebuild my engine and changed the half block of my car from MASS so no problem from engine side.But today i showed AC to shop near my house and he said that compressor is making noise may be due to low leqiud or its weak also the cooling coil needs a change and gave me an estimate of 7k[cry].so just wanted an expert advice for the same.

What type of noise is it. Compressor makes noise due to low oil, faulty clutch or sometimes due to lack of lubrication. Whats the fault in the cooling coil is it leaky ??. Show the car to some other mechanic too. BTW which area in Lucknow do you live ??

The Sony cassette player which I was using earlier suddenly stopped working and the sound quality from the fm transmitter was also not up to mark. The burnt IC was not available in the market so I had to buy a new music system.
Sunday morning I went to the flee market and bought an old cassette player.

I bought this one for using the 4440 IC amplifier circuit. This circuit provides 120W PMPO per channel and its 2 channel. One more benefit of this AMP is, it provides good bass without consuming too much power.

I had an old video game console in which I assembled the amplifier.

The front side of the amplifier

its being tested using a FM plate
The knobs are for volume and balance.

The rear side

The bass and treble knob and the 2 channel RCA input and speaker outputs. The wires are for 12v input.

Also bought a USB player with 4440 amplifier plate. The new plates have Chinese parts so the SQ is not good and also the IC gets heated up on long use.
The USB reader player used in this is an updated one. This has features like reverse/forward, time elapse display, resume song after power on, in-built aux in, and FM station memory

The LED is a color changing one(red/blue) and is irritating so much. This will be changed and RCA output option will also be added to connect the player to the amp.

Thanks Sir, Yes its for my car. Presently it will be fixed in temporary manner but later when interior work will be done I'll fix all speakers and music system properly.

A small update, fitter the USB player in the car.

Tested the amplifier in the car and it blew up the fake pioneer speakers installed in the rear doors. [frustration]

From many a days I was willing to blacken the B pillar. In the market they were demanding Rs 400+ for the job. When I asked the price of black sheet used for this job and number plating they were not ready to sell or asked Rs 300.
I had the black window film which I bought earlier. I used it and blackened the B pillar.
