Correct... it's just that if I'm still fine with a Turbo and the stock radiator, then you'll be fine. I've had no overheating issues at all... coolant, underhood, or otherwise.

I had to get an aluminum radiator in the '89 because the stock one couldn't handle the cooling needs.

Plus, like Leo said... nobody sees it!

I actually came >< close to moving to Florida a couple times... My best friend lives in Orlando and worked for the Mouse for a few years...

But I love the weather in California and couldn't get myself to leave! LOL! Maybe Disneyland has some standing around jobs available... LOL!

To be honest, I'm dissapointed by the Diney parks, the only rides for older people are that roller coaster in the Magic Kingdom, Rock'n Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, The ride in Animal Kingdom, and test track. Not enough for my money...but it looks like working there would be simple enough

I like that radiator, but I wouldnt pay for it. You'll never see it, and the stock one is enough. That would be one of the mods for when you've done everything you really want, then go back and start looking what you can change later.

Not trying to convince anyone otherwise (except myself! ), but just some facts about the Fluidyne vs the stock radiator..

(Per Fluidyne Tech Support)
The original radiator has a single row core, with approximately 3/4 inch tubes. So, the FLUIDYNE radiator has approximately twice the surface area for much more efficient heat transfer.

Among the advantages in using a FLUIDYNE radiator are the fact that it is a 2-row radiator with 1 inch tubes, so it has substantialy more surface area than a stock radiator. It is all aluminum with a furnace brazed core. It is a true Direct-Fit replacment, and will allow you to re-use all of the stock components, such as fan, etc.

Probably will cool too much... then you won't get to the desired operating temp.

For more 'adult' oriented rides, Islands of Adventure is an awesome place! They have some cool coasters!

As for Disney, I like more the 'immersive' rides like Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain... Stuff like that... I am a fan more for the atmosphere and the little touches... Disneyland is the best for that, but DisneyWorld has its fair share too... I could (and have) sat in like New Orleans Square or Tomorrowland and just watched the entertainment and people walk by... It's fun for me... I like shows too... I am sad though, cause this year is the first time in a few years I didn't get an annual Pass... But I am going to Disneyland in May and am hoping to change that...

Of course they're going to say that they're trying to sell it to you.

I'd forgotten about Splash Mountain, that's good, and there's a smaller train ride.
I meant as far as Disney, Islands of Adventure is the best park I've ever been to. They have AWESOME stuff, Dueling Dragons, the Hulk, Spiderman...and the Mummy ride in Universal.

Nice pic George


As far as the radiator, unless you need it, I say hold off...it'll help you get the CS69's quicker!

Would it be possible to get the PJ inside the indie ride? Pretty cool if you could get a pic of the PJ on the bridge. Or how about in autotopia?

All good rides! The Hulk actually surprised the heck out of me! Loved that ride! Have you ever gone for their Halloween stuff? Islands of Adventure/Universal does a great Halloween layover every year... They *finally* started doing it here on the west coast!

That would be awesome! I just want a pic of mine in front of the castle... or the Haunted Mansion...

Of course, they are now working on a 'Carsland' for the California Adventure park...

I hear what you're saying guys, and I appreciate trying to save me... but it was too late.

On that note, I'm picking up the Fluidyne this Saturday!

Isn't that 'COOL'???

[nevermind]
I'd be more concerned about an intercooler for the summer months than the radiator. If anyone would be hotter it'd be Tom, then again it's not August/September yet. I know, I know you don't see the performance ROI for the intercooler, but I think the ROI is split between performance and engine health. Anything to lower the IAT. You know the direction I decided to go. [/nevermind]


Get the wheels/tires first, that will be an immediate need. The stockers just aren't gonna handle the extra power, heck they're barely capable with what you have now.



D-Land stuff, it's fun much better than the other two SoCal alternatives, Knott's & Magic Mountain. Knott's just hasn't kept up and MM is too far, too crowded and too much of a gang-land attraction for my money. D-Land still for me has that quality that none of them have, it all looks new and is maintaned very well. If I go somewhere it'd be the place. Although I haven't been to the CA adventure yet (I pretty much know the adventures of CA).
