Spring is here and the lower grille block is too restrictive. Fan has kicked in a few times over the last couple of days.

I did not increase the opening, but I did build a sort of "duct" to channel the incoming air towards the radiator. I haven't tested it yet, but it should bring down the coolant temperature.

Will post pics tomorrow as it's too dark outside.
