yea... i'm easily amused by this sort of stuff... not sure why the pics are so small (have to work on that)


I should add these were taken after a short and slightly spirited drive on a 40 degree day

keep the engine cover on.

can you do a pic while moving? seems to me that'd be the only time side vents are functional. hot air passing out thru them.

Looks like going with the MS kit would realy help with the cooling process.

Looks like you have gum on your tire.

Also, did you do the AC line wrap mod? Definately cooler than it's surroundings.

- pics taken with a brand spanking new Mikron 7815 IR camera

- still puzzled as to what is on my tire

- no to the AC line wrap


... looking at the pics it might be interesting if someone would make an airbox thats insulated from the coolant expansion tank....
