Sydney was over 40 degrees for most of the day, even at 10pm its 34 degrees.
I took my xr8 out during the hottest part of the day, gave it a fair amount of stick, it has the cooler thermostat fitted and tune altered when engine fans come on earlier Normally it sits on a quarter only, but in todays extreme conditions it rose to mid way between a quarter and half. I had air conditioner on full steam too and giving her plenty of revs. Thats still under stock where they sit just under half. Its also pretty good considering it has underdrives so i would imagine water pump is underdriven. I also have the rubbers removed from underbonnet at bottom of windscreen (an old xr6t trick) There were heaps of people on sides of roads today heating system getting the better of them, how did yours perform? |

How did your cooling system hold together in this sweltering heat.
