Half on the temp guage is fairly miss-leading.

Any one with a PFC will know that half is from ~72degree's right up until a shade over 100degree's. Only once over 100degree's will it start creeping up. :)

100% agree with you Joel. The factory temp gauge gives you three basic indications - at that's about it:

The engine (coolant) is starting to get up to normal operating temperature,

The engine is AT normal temp',

The engine is overheating.

An aftermarket ECU and handset display allows much more accurate monitoring of 'real time' coolant temp's.

While we're talking about coolant and radiators - yesterday evening I bought a new 53mm aluminium radiator from Tarek at Racespec. It was $575. (RRP $750)

See here - http://www.racespec.com.au/shop_detail.php...d39c82c9167ad0b

These radiators are made in the USA using the exact same end tank design as factory, all the same style fittings (temp sensor etc), TIG welded and run twin 26mm cores (26 x 2 = 52mm but they call them 53mm?)

Just the thing for summer... and ready for the Nationals - even if it ends up being 48'c again :)

Yeah true - although I'm guessing it's only a matter of time till cheap and nasty alloy radiators hit the market... shortly followed by cheap decent quality alloy radiators.
