[QUOTE="stutzedward, post: 1064335223, member: 76501"] There is another way to keep your engine cool. Try these methods and proven effective for me. In fact, the aircond felt cooler during really hot afternoons. Thanks to brother James3399 for this useful tip. Lift up your hood. Yes, it does look a bit Beng but it helps. I inserted 2 2mm washers and DO NOT GO TOO HIGH. See the mark on the edge? It'll scrap against the fender if I lifted too much. This only happens when you open/close the hood. [IMG]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=489134&d=1370353123[/IMG] Remove the rubber strip on top of the firewall. Some say water will gush in but it's okay for me. I don't think there's a big problem. Without the rubber strip, more air can flow OUT of the engine bay and when moving, hot air expel a lot.

Silicon hose for radiator?
Hi guys,
I'm in the mist of looking for a radiator hose replacement. Heard good review for silicon hoses. Any idea where can I get hold of it. If possible, please include brand/price/contact.
Thanks a lot...
