This is interesting, seems a lot of peeps have probs with FMIC causing water temp issues - and lots dont...

I ran a Trust front mount and aftermarket rad and had no probs at all. Ant had GT-spec I/C and stock rad and no probs in the slightest. I then ran Trust FM with a new stock rad and temps were better than with another after market rad I borrowed briefly after I holed my nice big ally one...

I think a well cleaned or new stock rad is actually a pretty good unit. Just a shame about the plastic tanks

how much does an alloy smr cost and how much for smr mazda one

I belive that in many cases Stock rads are fine, its not what get, but how you use it.
I think the uprate the rad debate is more bought about as scare mongering. People say uprate the rad, but have they had a big hp car with a standard rad? genreally teh answer is no, but they have raed somewhere they should get one. My car had 78 to 80 degrees with a standard rad and smic, in mid to late summer.

The Veilside demo car that I have, has had an absolute fortune spent on it, loads of custom work, it still uses the stock rad!
I recommend only upgrading things like that, when they become a problem.

This is good then, Ill see about taking out the rad and give it a good old reverse flush with the hose pipe, and go from there.
but not for a while.Ill post results up when I do it prob end Feb.

id get the v mount by //www.rotaryextreme.com WORKS great

[Martin]

ah you guys in the US can get upgrade parts so easilly... unlike us guys in the UK... I got slapped with a £36 duty charge for a set of bloody 99spec combo lights!!

[teamafx]

Do they charge duties on the retail? I just shipped over a full body kit for $400 to the U.K. Im sure I can help some of you out being a vendor, I can claim the product is less.

Team, whats your company website? Come on lets have a look see.

Absolutely.  When I had my rebuild done the rad was tested and was only flowing at around 40%.  Probably one of the causes of water seal failure.

I guess a stock rad which is likely to be original is more likely to be bunged up.  Particularly in an older car - mine\'s 12 now!  Worth getting it checked out on any car and doubly so if you\'re going for bigger power.

so are you guys are saying a fmic is no good if you have a stock rad?
i was planning to upgrade the rad when i get the fmic.






what intercooler has this guy got and anyone know where he got his pipes from ?

[evildave]

I think he has a custom pace intercooler with a HKS hard pipe kit, and alloy rad.

it\'s gary gooding\'s car (was in fast car a few months ago, may have the details there or you can check on the Nemesis performance website)
