   Its nothing to worry about mate, as you say its not over heating so it will be fine.

   just wondering, could you fit an extra fan for a bit more cooling and say have it rigged up to a flick switch for if you were in taffic on a real hot day?

    its defo for the peeps in warmer climates were the car comes with air con
    you could have another fan fitted and on a switch, but i wouldnt be worth it unless your car was uber modded and running hot with the standard radiator.

    Agree unless your running something like a turbo or Very wild cams and on the track its not worth it but if you weighin up a turbo conversion it handy to know that the extra cooling power of a second fan is easily do able

    yea mate, I fitted the extra fan (sourced from a scrappy) as I track mine.
    
    just put an extra relay in and run another power wire from the power box (I dont know what the technical term is) next to the battery
