Pimp A$$ Cooling System
Just recently I had my timing belt tensioner replaced. . . and along with that they changed my timing belt and water pump too. . . So yeah my mechanic told me the timing belt was pretty stretched out. . . I wonder how that happen. . .
. . . hahaha. . . but yeah anyways. . . I have the:
-Koyo Double Row Radiator
-Perma-Cool Engine Oil Cooler
-TRD 160 Degree Thermostat
-TRD Radiator Cap
-Redline Water Wetter
Now I have truly seen the results of upgrade all of this. . . When I am cruising on the highway the meter would be about 0.5-1 centimeter below the mid point on the temperature gauge. . . At first I thought it was because last night was really cold but when I was driving to and home from work. . . the meter will still stay 0.5-1 cm below the mid point when I'm on the highway. . . When I'm on the local streets it will go up a little bit. . . On the stoplight depending on how long it takes the light to turn green. . . it might go back to the middle but either way when I start moving again after a little bit you will notice the meter starting to go down again. . .
