my clutch fan was junk so picked up a replacement today and put it on along with this pretty nice undercover. Now all I need is a good shroud.

Yeah I figure most people take em off and toss em long before this point in their life, lol.

Hey man are you going to be showing up at the PacNW Supra nationals? gotta represent the SDR's there.

I have been overheating after the engine is heat soaked and I have to stop for traffic. Once Im rolling again it comes down but I knew it was time to look into it. My old fan was pretty sad and the undercover was free (yep, free!). Ive already replaced the water pump and I think Im going to doa back flush and refill. Also my aux fan isnt coming on so I need to take a look at that. I think I will probably wire up an override for it.


EDIT: nice of you to grace this thread with your presence IJ. Just let me know of you see anything out of spec that I should pay attention to ;)

Heh, I've had vast amounts of time doing nothing lately and my car has just sat. I should be cleaning up the interior, but w/ the cracked dashboard, I just have no inspiration :(

with 800lbs of cement! LOL. Rode on the bump stops on the way home. Its funny, I didnt feel like I was hauling that much weight as far as the motor was concerned, but yeah, I was riding kinda low.
