I'll answer some of your questions if you answer some of mine! haha

ok first off you mention the oil cooler. A lot of people bag on the trumpet style oil coolers for the earlier 911's, but as long as they are keep free of road junk they work just fine. Also if the previous owner switch out to the finned design from the later Carrera's (like my car) You could take that thing all the way to Darwin on the hottest day and summer and be fine (I run my 85 Carrera in summer here in AZ and she barely ever spikes about the 1/4 mark we're talking 50+ some days) I don't have the thermostat control fan either, its just never been an issue for me

I've driven a red boxed CIS SC before, ran great, so sounds like something besides the box to me

ok if it has a 81 3.0L motor, than it already has the 11 blade fan, don't worry bout that. As far as oil fed Carrera tensioner and switching to them, if you already have the safety locks on them (which prevents complete mech failure) than I don't see a reason to go to oil fed's

You know the only suggestion I could make in terms of upgrades is fabspeed makes a pretty slick carbon fiber intake house for those badboys, like 400 bucks I think. Other than that it seems like its been updated fairly well. I'm a big fan of invest in the guy behind the wheel first, that 911 will be more than a handful on the track to begin with

In terms of headlights I'm not sure what you are referring too? why would you need rhd headlights?

ok now my question for you, I might have a job lined up in OZ soon, and I want to bring my Carrera over... whats the process like? Would I have to convert to RHD? Have you priced out what shipping and the conversion would cost?
