Makes sure your radiator fan is in good shape. The bushings for the motor in mine just failed, causing the motor to over heat on our recent warm days.

I bought a universal 12" radiator fan from the local auto parts store and fitted it in place of the stock motor with just a little modification. I had to sand the out edge of the fan blade down (there was a lip that prevented it from fitting in the hole in the stock shroud) then I mounted the new motor to the old mount and drilled a couple of holes and ran some longer bolts and locking nuts. Wiring requires two 1/4" spade terminals.

Of course, I can't now report how well it works as the car is down for paint at the moment and the warm weather is gone :/ but after feeling how much more air is moved with the new fan, I can't see where it wouldn't be better in the long run.

Also, make sure your belly pan is in place, it really helps with the engine cooling at speed.
