   in my mind it seems a good idea for a trackday car as once you come into to pits you can leave the fans on to cool the car down quickly.
   
   is it neccessary? or just overkill?
   
   
   if it is needed how do you go about it?

   i'm going to do it on mine, but only because the engine bay gets a lot hotter due to a turbo being in there and an intercooler in front of the rad, restricting air to the rad.
   
   its overkill on a standard car imo, the engine won't get too hot if its well maintained, even if you are thrashing it around track. an oil cooler would probably be a better idea for you

   If you want to do it fit a pacet fan controler in the water hose.
   Can use it to over ride the standerd fan and is adjustable for what temp it comes on at.
