    I see.. so normal to hear the blower all the time...
    I wouldn't care much about the MPG either...
    I wonder if the clutch does indeed have a Thermo.. it does have a sort of Spring on the back side.. [or is it the front?] but definitely it is always engaged...
    If I can't deal the sound.. I will look for another solution... THX!

    I don't care about the sound, between the kevlars, the exhaust and the removal of all the carpet and rear plastic, its plenty loud enough that the blower sound is a monior issue

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I have an extra fan & clutch if anyone is interested. Shop decided to replace mine after the accident even though there wasn't any visible damage.

    Have you downloaded the complete Workshop Manual yet? It has all this detail in it, along with schematics.

    Haven't yet.. but I surely will...!
    I have been busy with little cosmetic things so far... the change of the Fan Clutch was easy... just 4 bolts [plus the Fan's 4].
    I can certainly use the shop manual coming up...

    THX!
