Hello -

Ok, today I drove to work and had pretty hot weather :

Code:

Weather.com
Sky:         Partly Cloudy   
Temperature: 87.5°F
Humidity:    16%
Pressure:    30.01 in.
Dew Point:   33°F
Visibility:  9.5 miles

Unlike earlier in the week, while driving on the freeway and using the C21 spring, the coolant temps just wouldn't creep down as easily. This leads me to believe that this mod will have to be toned down or removed in the summer months.

I'll stick with the "v 2.0" wing shape for a few more days while I add springs to reduce the degree to which it closes.
