lol too good

The parts bin came to the rescue. :lol:

Matt how did those Federals feel at the track?

Overall, I was very impressed with the Federal 595RS-R. They have excellent grip and they can handle heat fairly well. Averaging 5-7 laps per session, the 595RS-R showed minimal signs of losing grip nor did they start to get greasy like the Falken Azenis RT-615K. My only gripe is that I wish they had better steering feedback/response. I just didn't feel as much information coming through the steering wheel to my hands as much as I experienced with the RT-615K. So far, this is the best street tire I've ever used on the track. I want to try the Hankook Ventus R-S3 Z222 once I finish the 595RS-R.

I totally forgot that I had this in my parts bin. This should do the trick.

I didnt like the racing thermostat. My car would warm up fine, then i would drive it down the street and it would just cool off. It would take about 25-30 minutes at highway speed for it to get back to normal operating temp. I only really noticed it after i did my valve adjustment and put in my chipped ecu. Maybe i was able to observe the temp finally. Hopefully you will get better results man!

It's better to run cool than overheat right?

We'll see what happens after the installation. Hoping for the best. *Crossing fingers*
