So hanging around on the Australia sub-forum of E46Fanatics the other day I stumbled across someone trying to part with a brand new Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof. Didn't think much of it to start with, it's something I always planned to do in the long run but since all the spending on my build thus far it was a step too far in costs. Although after a few days of no one snapping it up, which i was surprised by, I decided to get in contact with the guy and see if we could make a deal that suited us both. Turns out we could, he needed to part with it and I had a desire to get it under market value and we met amicably in the middle. So now with zero planning or preparation, or general thought on other parts required or costs involved, I have myself a Karbonius CSL Carbon Fibre Roof!
As part of the Targa Australia Regulations the car must be fitted with a Goodridge G-Link quick disconnect coupling (shown above) for fuel sampling as per M5 of the Targa Australia Regulations: Luckily thanks to my previous install of the Radium Automotive Fuel Rail I now had an AN connection at the back of the fuel rail and at the outlet of the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Now due to the clearance it was not possible to neatly install a take-off at the rear of the fuel rail where the current AN fuel line connects to so the easiest place to setup a take-off for a fuel sample point was off the Fuel Pressure Regulator. So to achieve this I purchased a SpeedFlow Tee-Piece (-06AN female to male with a male off-take). As you can see in the below photo I was then able to off-take from this point for the fuel sample connection. The fuel sample line then follows the fuel rail line out from the Fuel Pressure Regulator and then splits off and follows the Oil Dipstick Tube up to the Left Hand strut t
