Most of what you see in the pic is the aluminum-finned fan motor/housing and fan blades; you can just barely see the radiator core between the blades. It had to be a pretty unlucky shot for a rock to get through the opening, past the fan and into the radiator.

was at calder park with the historic touring car association. Great day till then, very very fast car. i logged each lap with harry lap timer and was amazed at the terminal speed of this thing 234klm at the end of the straight, passed everyone on the day, incredible.

Have 2 days at sandown this weekend with the PCV.

I haven't owned a 911 for 14 years, coming up to speed again.

I second that. Anyone (including Maddogz) see or cobble up a solution please post here so the rest of us can copy...

Don't run with PCV but hopefully I'll bump into you at a track day soon... Usually go to PI or Winton myself... I hope they get you sorted out before the weekend! Did you buy from PCM or Brighton?

Sounds great, do you do any Luke o'neill days? PM me and lets share contact details.

Looks like PCA is going to cover it as goodwill, i'm very happy. Pays to ask!

Ended up getting from Brighton, I really wanted to do the deal with Austin at PCM but his sales manager and I couldn't agree on a price
