      you only need the fan when you're not moving. if it's overheating when you're driving down the freeway, you have other issues. I can idle in traffic on a hot day for 10 minutes before the fan kicks on.

        okay, i'll go bleed it more, my fan is set to always on, but it was being a retard, my aux fan never came on, i even got the temp to goto the whiteline of the red and it never came on, so i bought a new switch today,and i already have the coolest thermostat available installed,it was 98 degrees outside, so that has something to do with it.

            all is well, car runs great fan spins 24/7 things are cool, even in 100 degree weather, car stays below or at the 1/4 mark, the fan just kept on losing connection, i rewired everything used alot more zip ties, and got new connectors. getting car smogged tommorow, going to get it painted hopefully early next week, i'll be ready for hot august nights....wait no i wont i have no headlights. the guy wont refund me money even though the lights were lost in the mail.

                what a waste of time, first i go to get my car smogged and then realize everything closed because its sunday, so ohwell it was a good drive, i get home and switch hood hinges back for my bent one, becuase it was hard to close the hood, then i realize that the hood closes nice and easy but the hood sits crooked, so i put the old one back and the hood closes good for 3 times then it stops closing, so i just say whatever as long as it looks right, then i try to adjust the bumper before i get it painted but i realize the bumper shocks are just messed up so i say forget it, then i wash the car so its nice and clean, and park it in the driveway and then an hour later it rains really hard for like 4 minutes and soaks it again, I LOVE MY CAR:D
                i'm looking to buy smileys smoked or not, i just need lights.
