    All you need to know

    Why have hacked up wiring to accomplish the same thing?  If you use the 4cyl 80/88c switch (61 31 8 361787) it plugs right in.  The only wiring needed is to wire your new fan to black/blue AND black/green on his wiring diagram (assuming single speed fan) and change fuse 3 (on the car in his diagram) to a 30A.  The fuse size change is safe because the wiring is the same size on both circuits.  If you have a failed low speed resistor on your stock aux fan you can just bypass the resistor and upsize fuse 3 resulting in high/high rather than low/high.

    About the Chasebay overflow, I am confused how you will use that?  It is not a pressurized expansion tank.  Isn't it made for a system with a cap on the radiator?

          Bigger than m42, and thicker than the e30 6 cylinder radiator.

          Where does the chase bay overflow plug in to? Never really thought about that.

            It plugs into the nipple of a filler neck. 

            555-53098.jpg

            When the system needs to relieve pressure, the spring compressed in the cap ,the seal goes up/becomes unseated, and allows the pressure to go to the nipple. This allows the pressure to vent into the overflow=) You probably already knew that though

                I didn't know that actually, not too familiar with that.

                So, where does the other line on the overflow go to? Back into the system I assume?

                      Some sounds just get into your blood. The idle of an old Guzzi is one of them.

                        Still not taking the R1 out until it rains good.

                        Anyone know how to weld titanium?  I need to merge my full titanium graves system with the new LINK cans and Y pipe I got.  Much cooler.

                          One of my current projects. Full restoration of a 1960's Honda S90. Have everything for it, just taking my time to do it right.

                              That must have been a ton of masking to just dip the wheels and spoiler.  Did you use the factory tow hook in the front to do it?

                                Solid "Meh" on the black from me.

                                I don't like black wheels ever tho - so I'm biased.

                                    Masking wasn't bad really, I didn't mask anything in wheels other than the calipers, I just peeled it off the tires. Tow hook? For what?

                                    The wheels are temporary, I'll be getting 18" mesh wheels in the future, but they're also black so you won't like them either :)

                                      Fuchs are gone.

                                      In other news, I bought my first Porsche. An 84 911 targa with 41k miles. Needs some work but I am excited!

                                        The common practice for dipping car parts or cars is to dip them in a vat appropriately sized for the item.  Since you did the wheels and the rear....thing....I assumed you had a car sized vat, masked off what you didn't want dipped and lifted the car into the vat with a crane hooked to the front tow point.
