PPBB, where does one procure titanium bolts from and how to you measure their strength against SS ones?
Haas ST15 with a bar feeder and a parts catcher is my go to procurement device.2Btoo said:

hahhaha Indeed, I want to replace as many of my exterior (subframe, wheel bearing / hub holders) with titanium if possible.
Probolt will do most things off the shelf in Ti, however many grades of Ti are not a suitable material for some fasteners unless you want to life them like you would on a race car because it will work harden. AN/NAS bolts are a good go to but they are imperial for the most part. It requires a bit of engineering work to replace one grade/material of fastener with another to ensure the life and strength remains in an acceptable window.CrashBang said:

What year is the car? Did it originally have a secondary air pump?
If it did, and you removed it, how did you get around the CEL light?
Any details appreciated!
It's a 99 as such it's one of the rare ones which is DBW throttle with all associated electronics but isn't OBD2 compliant despite having a standard OBD2 port etc. It's perfectly happy running with no Lambdas, SAP or similar and won't show a code for them missing as it doesn't monitor emissions devices like an OBD2 compliant system would.What year is the car?

Just a quick update to say it's in the paint shop. Porsche galvanising from this period remains mighty impressive as it's done 18 winters of salt and wet without much more than a bit of surface in a few hidden areas.
Everything is being done bar the roof and engine cover which were in decent condition to start with.
Really looking forward to seeing it back in its former glory and ready for another 20 years of taking stick
