Really nice to see this project!

And some questions straight away as you know I have some similar features in my car..

- Did you already get a chance to test with this belt routing? My engine will also be without AC and PowerSteering pump, so I guess that is the same as yours. I was considering to put the AC compressor back just to function as an idler. In your routing, you now have the tenstioner on the 'wrong' side of the belt if I see it correctly. Typically the tensioners are on the return side of the belt where there is no load on it, just the tensioner taking up any slack.

- You mention you have lowered the transmission and engine together. How did you do that and did you have to modify the chunky brace between both control arms? My upcoming V8 might also require me to lower, but there doesn't seem much space till I hit this brace.

- Just for my interest; why did you go for the third radiator? I sort of went the other way and focused on increased flow (less pressure drop) to the existing radiators by using the Boxster S pipes and hoses. I used two additional simple radiator hoses to avoind the T-piece going to the center radiator. I actually do have the third radiator around here with bracket, ducting and hoses...

Really interested to hear your experience with all the upgrades when you do have it back on the road. Close now!
