Cooling Fan Control Kit
Can someone enlighten me on how the Mazsport fan control kit modifies the following OEM fan control scheme? An email to them has gone unanswered for weeks. TIA

Piece a cake. Check out the Mazsport install video at:

I'll probably be getting one before I run my RX-8 at the track for the first time in late August.

Well, I did order a cooling kit. However, I just put my car up for sale so I won't be needing the kit (assuming I sell the car, of course). If the car sells, I will put the kit up for sale on the forum for a reasonable price.
I just installed the Mazsport fan control mod this past weekend. I don't think it is working correctly.
When i first installed it in the car it had only been turned off for an 45 minutes, with an air temp of about 79F. The engine was "warm" about a 1/4 way up the gauge. Then this morning i drove it and it was 69 degrees out. I followed the directions to a T in the DIY video.
In both occurrences the fans turn on when i put the key in ACC mode and also when i start the engine. The fans don't turn off until i take the key out of the ignition and wait about 5 to 10 seconds. I wouldn't think that the fans would turn on this morning considering that the engine coolant would be 69 degrees after an entire night of sitting in my driveway.
1. Is it not grounded good enough? i may have to take a wire brush to the factory grounding spot.
2. On the 2 relay's i noticed that the numbers were different even though on the video they said that the relays are exactly the same, do they really need to go in a specific order into slots 1 and 2
3. Could my kit be defective? I bought it from a respected forum member here. The kit came with all necessary pieced in original bag from mazsport.
4. Could i be fretting over nothing and for some rotary weirdness my engine coolant really be 190 degrees after an entire night of sitting in my driveway.
