Re: Beater Eagle Summit

So to keep update, I installed the new Honda radiator into the car. The old rad had a leak in it and sprayed antifreeze on the exhaust manifold when it was warmed up. Put on a new thermostat.

The car warms up, keeps a SOLID temp and doesn't overheat! I am very happy with it.
I haven't installed the electric fan yet. I want to build a shroud for it and bolt the fan to the shroud.
I don't know if I should use those zip ties on the radiator or not. I really don't want to. I think the fan shroud should work better.

Nothing big but now I feel better about driving longer distances and not needing to carry a gallon of antifreeze.

Just to note, I love those snow tires on that car. The car handles really well in the snow. It is actually one of the best cars I have driven in the snow (the eclipse AWD had street tires on it)

Now it is time for some Ice/snow Racing!
