Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Interesting reading. We provide full email and telephone support for our kits and it is amazing how varied the questions are - to the point that if we put every answer to every question back into the manual, it would probably be 1000 pages long! On thing is a theme though. The kit is designed for a ...

Re: Amplifier Experts?
Much of my work was on the pro side but I did have a turntable till the late eighties. Afterwards we periodically used them for shows, once a £15,000 one but in an AB, the problems are obvious and believers think you can’t design a phono stage. Vinyl is hugely profitable for ailing record companies...

Re: Alternator
The charging system voltage depends on a few things.. 1. How drained the battery is. 12.6 suggests you battery is fully charged so it won't need much more charging. 2. The temperature of the battery and cables 3. The voltage drop across the cable ( from alternator to battery incl. the earth) 4. The ...

Re: Harry's Garage video and the Electric Car in detail
We are striving to reduce interaction with 'the system' as much as possible. Sold the all-done 'forever' house, moved to a place with some land to grow veg, its own water reservoir and a woodland (50 tonnes of wood already felled for heating). Solar and battery system going in. LPG tank for reserve ...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Had a quick look at the layout. Looks like a perfect candidate for electric AC.

Re: Patinacide - crime against originality of the day
Whenever I see a car like, one word springs to mind..."Bondo"! Ah come on, I know they dumped that album into your iPhone once but you can go on blaming him forever :P I will absolutely blame him every time I jump in the car and forget to hook up my tunes. Imagine if I had a horrible acci...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
The only thing to watch is that you still have adequate space on the inlet and outlet side of the condenser to pull in and expel the air. As I said, look at the black car on page 68 (but you don't have to put the drier in that position): https://uceb70ae58509622920460cd439c.dl.dropboxusercontent.com...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Whoa everybody.... 1) We are already using Boxster/996 condensers. They are the smallest OEM condensers available so forget finding a smaller one. Anything smaller won't provide enough performance anyhow. 2) Our condenser/fan/shround DOES NOT need ram air. It's fully shrouded - the fan does all the ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Good to see that the kit arrived in time for your Christmas break! One thing to try first is maybe welding a nut to it. Hold an M10 over it and then mig straight down the middle and fill the nut. Might be worth preheating the broken stud first. This but weld on a washer first, this allows a decent p...

Are you sure? We mount our AC compressors in the smugglers box without drilling anything - electrical panel would be even simpler.911hillclimber wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 11:01 am and it is drilled to mount the gubbins inside to be fitted.
