Thats my best technical description by the way.

Car doesnt overheat during normal use but surely due to the sard one running cooler its got to keep temperatures that bit lower on track, no?
Thanks guys well its a custom alloy rad i got from Keith at zisco i was planning to wrap my mani and dp but I've not had the time!
What sort of temps should i see on track or more to the point what temps should i back off a bit?
On Rorys Starlet ive been out for a good 10 mins of abuse and it didnt reach 90 degrees.
On my own car i back off about 9o degrees, just before the fan kicks in.
mine is pretty good at keeping cool in the hottest of temps as long as i keep moving. once i stop it starts getting high. but the rad fan keeps it under control!
If you pull the rad fan switch plug off the back off the thermo housing the fan will run constantly, on track thats no bad thing.
An engine coolant flush could help remove some deposits built up in there as well, but make sure you flush the system out a good 5 times before refilling with coolant after using it. Its a detergent so it creates bubbles, not good for cooling lol.
As much as it sounds a good idea to constantly run the fan, wouldnt it become a restricting factor if you were moving?
