Nice work, you cracked 1000 KM, too. I haven't hit 700 yet...I imagine that's your next goal, too

Thanks!

Yes but I think i'm going to have to do some major modding to make that mark. Im going to do a lower grill block this weekend and put in a radiator fan indicator light. I'm not sure at what temperature the fan will kick on. The net has not been of much help in elucidating this either. Anyone with any input on it would be of great help because the inlets one the bumpers are gaping maws

Fans tend to kick on in the 208-210*F range and turn off around 200*F mark. But that is based around limited experience. All cars will have different programming, and esp. in a turbo car, that may be different. I would suspect a car with a turbo might be more aggressive in turning the fan(s) on.
