Re: SEdan runs hot at highway speeds WTF?
This just in.... went to mikes ( whiterice ) house on sunday and it ran hot again! ----! i dont knwo if you can tell from the pics but the DP is way to close and sits on the radiator.
I might make a shield to try and see if it blocks the heat from transfering over to the rad. IM gonna flush the radiator one more time and use the red line ----.

I managed to move the radiator closer to the T-bar and i think i see about 1/2" to 3/4" space away from the DP from the original 1/4" it had. That along with the HMT heat shield should help my overheating issues.
Went for a rip around the block and it stayed cool went i mashed on it from 2nd to third and let off. i would have gone to 4th but it gets squirly. I need an alignment in the front and some hub centric rings for the wheels on it.
