100€ a piece.... it still looks good. I got it out with an adapted ringspanner. Is it really a must to replace??

I replaced mine only because it was 25 years old. It was working fine but I did not want to wait for it to fail. Think of all the heat cycles it has endured for 20 something years. I don't know what the designed life of that sensor is, but I did not want a failure while out on the road. I bought the head sensor, O2 sensor & both reference sensors because they were all original. I feel better knowing they have all been replaced.

We had our big blizzard three weeks ago today. All the snow at my house should be gone by tomorrow. It is unusual for any snow or ice to last more than a week in Oklahoma. Good riddance, I hope we never get snow again.

a 750 ducati that has been abused will cost a lot of money. i bet it needs valve adjustment/belts, the whole enchilada. plus, i think they only run what, 65 horses?

Rick V 01-14-2010 02:17 PM

Yeah, but this is Sid, he can make it alright

slodave 01-14-2010 02:18 PM

porsche4life 01-14-2010 02:32 PM

If I traded for a Duc it would be to sell it right away... I don't want a bike right now... I told the kid... Bring me ben franks....

Rick V 01-14-2010 02:35 PM

Will that defense hold up in court? "Dave made me do it"

slodave 01-14-2010 02:36 PM

Beans and franks?

porsche4life 01-14-2010 05:55 PM

Rick I doubt it... But I hadn't planned on posting it here...but I figured y'all would ask what he was talking about... So I saved myself the effort...


Well... I'm going to start on the corrado heater core tomorrow night.... Need to get it done by sunday....

porsche4life 01-14-2010 08:42 PM

So Saturday is going to suck... These pieces are going 70ft up and getting assembled in the air...

Oh Schumi... I talked to the autocross chair... He gave your formula car a green light... I only have one question.... Can I drive it? Even real slow?

Geronimo '74 01-14-2010 09:30 PM

Morning guys,

removed the rest of the sheet metal yesterday and the oilcooiler, only to find out that the knock off P201 that Stijn and I bought is a very very poor fit..., it will need some adjusting, grinding and welding... Hey what can you expect, it only cost 1/6th of a genuine Porsche item...
If I find a garage, workshop I can rent cheap, I'm doing my whole car. (right now, the car is at my parents place, I can remove and disassemble the engine there, but an entire car is a bit too much...) It seems such a shame to be putting a new engine in a dirty old car....

already told you, i give 500 bucks for your roller, 700 if you throw in those wheels


the repro p201 , add plate where the bolt's go, drill through...
still can't fit it with hte internal oilcooler, but except for that, it will be good

Geronimo '74 01-14-2010 09:40 PM

Stijn,

in the curved part of the P201 (repro), the holes are very close to the side. A bit too close for comfort even.... Well, actually, the bottom hole is not close enough to the side. It does not fit between the stud and the little edge on the crankcase...
Like I said, some grinding and welding and it shoud work... But I don't have a welding machine....

ps; (I'll have to decline your offer to purchase my car for 500, but thanks anyway :p)
