It's broken somewhere in the back and as a result, it ate the air con, making the car toasty to drive.

-BBi Clutch Slave Conversion
-Possibly Numeric cables
-All new rubber everything
-Confirm everything is pinned/welded as I was told when the car was sold to me
-GT3 Dipstick conversion


Anything else, "while we're in there"?

Is this regarding my wiring harness question?

Yes. When the air con was jumped from the relay to the compressor, it was then revealed that continuity in the wiring harness was compromised.

Dock, 2fckfast is correct. That's what I've been told currently, but there's likely a bit more sleuthing to do prior to confirming and ripping the motor out.

@2fcknfst I'm not spending 20k on a rebuilt transmission! :P

You're going to need to change out your Power Steering reservoir if you do the clutch slave conversion and coincidentally I have one for sale that is heavily discounted compared to a new one...

Let me know if you are interested.

More sleuthing; smart approach.

Question for those of you with the BBi conversion: do you find it "too" heavy? I originally had the GT2 conversion (done very mickey mouse), re-did it back to stock (where it was very light, which I was okay with since I do drive in traffic), but now I'm worried about the stock setup failing at a later date and I've got to take it all down again. Did anyone do the BBi conversion and not like it?
