I've had overheating with my 2g forever, and let me tell you what finally fixed it: fans! I put in an aluminum radiator, various thermostats, new hoses, new coolant, water wetter, dish soap, ice, naked pix of AJ's mom, etc. All helped, but none really SOLVED the problem! What finally did was FANS. I picked up one of those dual fan units from flex-a-lite for about $350 and wired them into a seperate fused circut and relay so they run all the time when the car is on, and there's an on/off switch in the cockpit if I really wanna turn them off for some reason. Expensive, yes, but I can drive the shit out of the car now w/ the A/C on, and it will never overheat. This is with Buschur's 11x24x3.5 intercooler core in front of it, about as big as you would go (practically).
