My friend is a tuner and during a remap of my 2010 renault we did a run with AC on and the power output was the same. He said that it's common even in older cars. Maybe it depends on the car, or maybe it only disengages the AC compressor at wide open throttle, I don't know. It could also depend on AC type, automatic, manual etc.

[@antontaylor4530]

As the owner of an offroad Zuki SJ, I can tell you that nothing makes them look cooler than big mud terrain tyres, the more aggressive the better. Make sure you alter the gearing if you go that way though - a 410 transfer box might fit (it was the go-to swap on the outgoing Jimny). 31 or 33 simex style tyres are best looking, and absolutely crush offroad. After that, a winch bumper, maybe bullbars (maybe), some LED spots/lightbar. Be careful not to go too far though, or you'll start looking try-hard if it's not regularly covered in mud.

Here's an interesting fact: The Jimny will follow every cars that you own but no other vehicle can follow where the Jimny goes. In 2007, Chilean duo Gonzales and Eduardo made world record for the highest ascent (6,688m) by any motor vehicle with their Jimny (SJ 413) upon the Ojas del solado volcano. While doing so, the Jimny broke a previous guiness record established by a Jeep Wrangler which attempted the climb a few months ago under heavy financial and logistical assistance from Jeep. In a cheeky move, the Chilean duo brought back home a sign post that reads *JEEP PARKING ONLY: NO OTHER VEHICLE MAKES IT HERE ANYWAY*
