So if you could pick a new part or something that has not been made for our FD, what would it be? Exterior/ interior ideas is what im looking for. I know its kind of a wierd question, but if you could modify a part or buy a new part for your car what would it be?

For me, i think having someone come up with a better looking rear bumper for people with body kits would be nice. Every aftermarket bumper ive seen has not looked that well.

Another thing i would like it to have someone produce an A/C relocation with the wires and new plastics with holes for gauges in them.

I would say to do a fan switch mod, so you can turn them on when you need to. I could see if you were at a dead stop for it to get that hot, but going 30mph and still that hot is kinda wierd. Do you still have your scuff plate under the car?

In traffic, I can simply glide over all the cars and get home anyway I want cause no freeways. Just from point A to point B .

ya i do have the under tray and i will probably end up doing the fan mod soon. i think i also have more water than coolant in my car so ill probably flush the sytem while im at it...

get the water wetter stuff as well. Heard it works pretty well. also look into water injection. There are some threads about how the temps dropped over 20 degrees

I want an adjustable and functional rear wing that's tasteful and actually blends in with the FD's body lines. And no, the 99-spec wing doesn't meet those requirements...

This is out of the scope of the original post but,... try turning on the parking lights, or turn interior fans to position 3 or turn AC on. You'll lower your temps by 10degF while in traffic. Makes the fans come on at a lower temp. Also make sure the the radiator is sealed well around the sides. BTW, 210degF (99degC) is not even close to the danger level. It's the temp that the fans come on when there is no electrical load.

i think they should make a 40b lol, that would be nice

Actually, water injection occurs at wide open throttle, boosting conditions and lowers intake air temps, not coolant temps .

RX007, I think going with a 70/30 water/coolant mix will do wonders for you, along with running the fans. Keeping your parking lights on while you drive around will allow the fans to come on sooner, and if you pull your a/c fuse you can turn your fans on at will by using the a/c and fan switch. A vented hood is definitely not needed, although most of the mods on my FD weren't really needed, lol.

The best thing I did for my FD to improve coolant temps? removed my a/c system altogether
