Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

After a few the oil in the SS got so hot after only a few hot laps on the weekend I'm seriously looking into a cooler for it. What are the views on thermostats? Required or not, remembering that my car gets used as a daily.

We rarely get cold enough to warrant a thermostat imo

This is what I was thinking but I also read a lot of posts (admittedly not on australian websites) recommending against running without one. Anyone running without one? Does your oil come up to temp fast enough?

I have had 2 cars without one and had no issues. In the depths of winter I have heard of people blocking some of the flow to the cooler but they were Sydney people.

I guess I could always add one later on if needed.

I could have used a thermostat in the S13 on a few days back in Sydney however it was easier to just start the car, then go out my shoes on etc and come back out. You won't need one up here.

Interesting way to go. Same motor that is in the new CLA maybe? I was reading an article the other day that predicted in 20 years there would only be 6 car manufacturers and even the likes of BMW might not be big enough to survive on their own.
