Stock cooling system strength.....?

Do any of you have any results from utilizing the stock radiator/pump/and fans on the rx8 while doing some laps at a track.

I'm building mine for drifting and water temps are always an issue. I wanted to know if anyone else slides theirs and what they have seen temperatures get to while doing 2 or 3 laps back to back on a hot day. Please post any results you guys have had. Thanks

AZR: do a bit of searching around here, there are a TON of threads on cooling issues / upgrades / suggestions.
you mentioned coolant temps are an issue: how have you been monitoring them?

It does suck because unfortunately, half of the threads on this forum are just like this.

Another one of those "I wanna act nice" post

nice. Post count +1

Did you help? Did you offered any advise? and better yet did you actually reply/help any of these n00b post that pops up like every 5 seconds or so ?

God I just love how people want to act like they're nice, but never actually helped anybody anything.
