Please don't trust your factory temp gauge, some of them are horribly inaccurate.

I am in the middle of installing the K2RD radiator. Installation is going so/so right now.

Ive got battery issues that need to be ironed out by this friday. But on the plus side...That radiator is MASSIVE!!!!

yeah i'll bet, which why i'm deciding to go with the koyo. it's not to big like the k2rd radiator but i like the extra 5% it has over the fluidyne. plus, it's a little cheaper. =)

just installd my koyo a few weeks ago. solved my overheating problem. stays at 1/5-1/4, no matter what. installation was a breeze, except for the reshaping the brackets to fit the koyo. need ect gauge, soon.
