Using FD\'s for drifting ?

[DreXeL]

I have a Greddy FMIC, and a fairly big Sugita Copper radiator. My water temp was well above 100 after just a few laps

I\'m sure it\'s this RE-A bumper, the opening is tiny.....

I have a RE-A bumper as well, different to yours though.  I suppose the opening on mine does look bigger than yours.

Admittedly I havent done a track day in mine yet, but if you know Milton Keynes you will know you can give it a hammering around here and its the same if not worse than a track!!  At grid system made up of 70mph dual carriage ways and roundabouts - you can easily get well above 100mph between them then its hard on the brakes, take the roundabout then bang, off again   :burnout     The only concern I have is the Oil temps as I have seen them hit 113!!  Water temps sits at around 95 on a hammering.  I have the water temp measured on both the Commander and the Defi gauge, both reading the same.

Are your temps high on normal driving?  Mine sits at around 83-86 depending on outside temps

Normal driving I get similar temps, and when driving hard on the local ring road (similar to the roads you describe, long 100+ strights interspersed with roundabouts0) it gets into the mid 90\'s, so basically identical temps to you. My oil temp sits at around 100-110 when driving hard, on both the road and the track. Normal driving it sits at about 75-85.

Track driving is a different ball game though. Engine permanently in the red-line, but not always at 100+ so you don\'t get the airflow.
