Any Ideas for cooling?!
Hey guys I was wondering wondering if any one had some lost cost methods of makeing a 951 run a little cooler? Right now my runs normal and on hot days it will run on the higher end of normal. Just looking for some simple ways to cool it down a bit more... I thought of installing extra fans or larger ones.. anyway hit me up.

You could install a lower temp fan switch.
Fans might need more research, I'm sure someone has done this.
Have you done a check on the cap to make sure it is up to par and holding press. to what it is supposed to?(15 psi I believe.)
Are you sure there is no air in system?
I am sure there are plenty of discussions on this subject. A search may be in order. Oh yes, my A/C condensor had a lot of junk and bent over fins from the P.O.
I bought a fin cleaner/straightener and made it look nice.

You can cut out the center part of the nose where the air dam is (where some put a tag on) like I did, and it will give you much more air flow (specially on highway crusing) with no restriction to the IC and radiator and whole front engine, including brakes, or you can get a lower temperature thermo switch 75/82 and thermostat 80...

Wow that pretty neat LFA951 , what about high beams and low beams? Does that setup just give you one setting? Also for inspection I thought you would have to have hi's and low's? You have me very tempted sir

I've been thinking of something like that for a few years but never had the bumper cover off to look into it further.
Does the bumper cover need any bracing to maintain it's shape after cutting out that middle bar? i.e. is that middle bar structural in any way?
