No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

I have a couple ideas what caused both failures, regardless i'm just going back to an electric fan to save future headaches.
Did you ever install my Spal fan I sold you Dave?Last edited by conway; 09-12-2012, 11:16 PM.Eastwood fender roller available for rent in Boulder. PM ME

For the amount of load it puts on the alternator I'm sure there is zero power gain.
BUT, an electric fan can provide that needed flow on hot days when you are parked in traffic, and your mechanical fan at an idle just isn't cutting it.
The pusher I have on my E30 pushes so much air that it actually starts to spin the mechanical fan on the other side of the radiator (with the engine off of course). 16" AC pusher from an E32... best bang for the buck.
