don't you want the temp after it's filtered and through the inline cooler - as this is what is protecting all the up and down bits.
once it is run through the engine, it drains to the sump so it's hotter there but it's more important to have the pressurised temp reading.
mine is tapped into the return from the oil cooler (i tihnk)
where do you run the line?
it's the exact same principle as a radiator style but just finned on the length by the sounds of things.
if you were really clever you could determine the surface area of either type and see how much heat dissipation you'll get out of both...

1. is this techncially a factory looking 'dose' (fark i find that a funny word) pipe, and will the chicks love me
2. does it chirp second
nice mod!
i wouldn't acid dip them as this may fcuk the bores and internal brake galleries...
i would leave old bleed nipples in and mask over the piston then sand blast them carefully.
hey vincent, not doing clear - I like the orange indicators - clear makes them look too much like a 33
be careful with using US lights - the cut off will be backwards because they are LHD.
The cutoff for a RHD should look like this (ignore the full stops):
_________
............... \______________
The cutoff for a LHD will look like this:

the higher lhs of the light on a RHD headlight allows for the camber on the lhs of the aussie roads...
hope that makes sense!!
i will continue to hold a grudge against the government for not letting me have an E30 M3 in LHD registered in Victoria.
And I will continue to hold a grudge against BMW for not releasing the E30 M3 in RHD.
plus you need to get the fluids in the diffs, gearbox, transfer case etc moving too...
no good idling the motor in the driveway so it's up to temp and have a cold gearbox!
I would consider coating the manifolds and rear housings, but only the outsides. It doesn't sit well with me if the coating inside the exhaust manifold delaminates, and gets shot through the exhaust wheel...
The exhaust I would do in and out though.
