[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10972962, member: 11681"] Sorry to hear of your difficulty. The cooling system on these things is challenging at times, that is for sure. I have been daily driving mine until I get a replacement beater, and the daily highs have been over 100f almost every day for a couple of weeks now. I am feeling very lucky that my fan has not yet tanked and that although it is running way above where it normally does in traffic, once I get it rolling for a few miles it will drop back down to about 200. So I guess those open track cooling mods are for the most part working. I am looking forward to picking up the used 04 SVT Focus that I bought today. That will be my new beater and I will then order a Tiger-Racing hood for the thirstier 04 SVT and take apart and re-do a few things in preparation for some renewed Open Tracking as fall approaches and more reasonable temps are just around the corner. I hope you get your cooling issues resolved OK, and I think it is a good move installing a Reische 170 stat. I will be converting back to one of those from my upper hose Evans/Behr conversion stat arraignment. I am convinced the Reische 170 will be a better set up. [/QUOTE]
