While we are talking about track stuff. Anyone need a set of 14k springs? They are the ones picture on those clubsports above. I also go the standard rate springs so those are going back on for now.

All you need is the Mugen Fan switch and thermostat. I ran a supercharged S2000 w/o heat problem. A bigger Koyo rad would be extra protection,

the first thing i'd be doing is getting new radiator hoses (mine are starting to show signs of dry rot.. lots of little cracks.. oem hoses at 105K miles, 70K of which were in georgia heat) I was thinkin about getting a new radiator while i was at it... a Koyo was top on my list... and if people seem to like Koyo then that is what i'd go with. The problem with my hood is that it is heavier than stock and looks like crap. It was on the car when i bought it. its one of those "oh my tv isn't working... woo hoo! i have a reason to get a new one!" mindsets. But as I said, the hood is VERY LOW on my priorities right now.
I appreciate the input about the fan switch and thermostat. Will they be bad for a DD/weekend warrior for the next couple of years though? Its only driven in the summer... and judging by the summer we're having now, its going to be a hot one.

Nope, all the fan switch does is come on earlier as does (opens) the thermostat. I put them in and forgot about them.

Ron - Eric is packing the truck today and will let me know shortly if he has room for the canopy. if so, i'll drop it by his place tonight and you just need to get it from him when you get there. Just give it back to him at the end of the weekend and he'll bring it back to MD.
I'm just waiting for him to confirm. Otherwise, we'll need to default to plan B

hehe i knew how they worked (i had to look into them for my Saturn which is notorious for overheating) I just wasn't sure how it would affect the S as a daily
Thanks a ton! i'll look into them first.. i'm getting a very good deal on DGR radiator hoses from Russell (basically same thing as the the Samco hoses) at some point this summer. so maybe those two combined will allow me to put off a radiator until this car sees a lot of track time.
Man i love you guys! so knowledgeable and (for the most part) humble when giving advice :coughcough Skip coughcough: (JK, we all know Skip is my S2K hero)... wonder how his car with the extra doors is doing?
