Holy Grail Labs e21 fusebox upgrade. this gets rid of the unreliable and somewhat expensive ceramic fuses for modern blade style. these older style fuses are famous for warming up and melting the fusebox before the fuse itself blows, another issue is with the clips themselves that tend to break at the base. you can see in the second picture where a repair was made.

this is v2 which also replaces the relays for a completely reliable solution to this problem. you also get the added bonus of fault lights that can tell you if you have a blown fuse at the flip of a switch.

if your e21 fuse panel is starting to fail or you have weird electrical issues, consider this kit.

a/c installation has begun for the 964, installing a kit. lovely kit by the way.

since this is a backdate, it’s presented some unique challenges mostly due to the front bumper cover arrangement. both the compressor and condenser have to coexist in this space, which is tight to begin with and the bumper cover took a bit of that room away. lots of test fitting, measuring, and wood was involved to find a placement that would work enough clearance at full lock. now to make a bracket for the condenser number 1 (the kit includes 2, second is sandwiched in front of oil cooler) then i can remove the fan cassette to install the upgraded evap.
