removing fan shroud
Mine is all beat up. I was wondering if it would be bad to either hack part of it up, or just remove it all together.
Is it that bad to run the car without it? or does it depend on the terrain

Your fan will not be as efficient without it. It's possible to run it w/o the shroud, but your water temps will be higher, as you won't have the shroud to direct air flow away from the rad.

thanks for the info everyone
I didnt realize it was so important, as it is not so much in some other cars..
I have one lined up that i can buy, it was depending on whether I really needed it though
So, now i know I do need one, thanks for the offer though
