Pusher fan mounted using the SPAL mounts
sits close to flush with the rad.
have a few more things to tackle before this weekend’s HPDE.

Well turns out I must’ve cracked the tstat housing when reinstalling my VDO sender. So everything gets to come back apart.
Ended up co-driving the evo at the HPDE

Nooooo....F*******

Didn’t want to go through the hassle of drilling and tapping the 5 series tstat housing just to have it crack along the casting parting line so here we are. Bung welded to a new aluminum one

You said bung...

Rad outlet apparently was not circular enough, coolant all over the place. Going to see if mishimoto will warranty this POS. Another weekend shot in the ass and not driving my car at an event.

CSF FTW
They didn’t make a 3 row

I'd be pissed too, I was gonna comment about Mishimoto...for the price you pay the quality seems to be poor. Obviously... I'd try to get a full refund and give your money to a more quality company. GL Bud

Yea lesson learned. I dropped it off at a rad shop today to have them fix the outlet. We’ll see how long this one lasts.

I’d have to fill out their online forms, send mine in, they’d either fix it or send out a new one after they inspect it. For the timeline I’m on, I’d rather not sit on my thumb waiting for a replacement that shows up in the same condition when they drop ship it from mainland China.

Radiator showed up. Ended up buying a mishimoto xline z3m rad. It’s a 3 core setup which should help. The outlet showed up slightly flattened so I got like $40 back from amazon, will just tap that back out.
Figured I’d go with mishimoto because it has a lifetime warranty and was one of the few all aluminum 3 cores I could find for a reasonable price.
Lifetime warranty...this is why they offer it. Because no-one want's to take the time to send it back and wait... Pretty much a marketing scam. Sorry bud.
-
$15 later, outlet is fixed and had the rad pressure tested for peace of mind. Should be good to slap back in the car

So since the car was down over the weekend, I ended up codriving my buddy’s turbo miata.
ended up taking 2nd in XS-B and raw timing 8th/143 cars. I’ve driven turbo Miatas before but this was my first experience in one with a true manual rack (slower ratio than powered racks), so my hand work was a bag of shit. The car is an absolute rocket though. He ended up 1st in XS-B and 4th/143 for raw time.
http://fvscc.com/results/2020_Summer/Event4_raw.htmAs much as I hate driving other people’s cars, it was really nice to just show up and rip around. Trying to break that habit though lol
for this run the tires had some temp in them and were about 6/7psi higher than what we like to run, hence the oversteer
