Kenny and the guys at GT spec are really enthusiastic about the sedan market.

How did you see how much cooler it ran? I'm sure it helps a little but without an obdII reader you would not be able to tell for sure. Since I got my big @ss radiator for $300 I can't see spending $200+ more for that. (BTW I still want one, just need it to be about half the price )

tim,

do you ever look at you water temps , via the UTEC???

With the stock radiator and an 80/20 mix of water:coolant, I never see temps over 185.....usually, my water temps are in the 170s while crusing.

If you can't keep a plastic one in decent shape, good luck with an aluminum one. I just lowered my ride and the roads here in SF suck ****.

I need to start playing around with that. I have never done anything with the UTEC.

I don't get it. Why would you replace the plastic tray with an aluminum one?

It is really only for shows? People are barely going to be able to see it.

I'd go with ARC if I had a sponsor and he owned a gold mine....haha
That underbody tray is way too nice to leave under your car. It might work
better as a coffee table top in my office.
