Just drain the fluid in the radiator, then fill it up w/ distilled water. That should give you a pretty good water/Glycol mixture. See how that does before you use Water Wetter.

just make sure you properly dispose of the antifreeze and not let any just drain down the street or a driveway - it attracts animals, esp cats & dogs - and if you don't properly dispose of the fluid, then... you'll find your car/driveway/street with a few cadavers lying around.

Scott, does Mugen make or you guys stock the thermoswitch for the fan? I know Spoon makes one, and I would think Mugen does, too. The effectiveness of the t-stat will be limited w/o the lower temp switch.

If you guys have it, I'll place an order ASAP. If not, I'm afraid I'll be placing an order for the Spoon parts.

Thanks!

My buddy has a car with Stack instrumentation. He recently added a bottle of Water Wetter to the car's factory cooling system. This resulted in a decrease in coolant temp of 3-4 degrees Centigrade (about 10 degrees F, I think) under similar driving conditions. I don't know what the original coolant mix was, but I thought I would share this with the group.

Food for thought.
