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. . . :angel: . . . 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. . . :D

That's cool. I just need the oil cooler, but I'm not sure on the water wetter. I don't think it'll make very much difference. But, I'd like to see the difference with and w/o it.

What are you talking about? It's not like we have a choice of a 4 row radiator. Maybe these things aren't worth the money you have to spend to get some cooling, but these will make a difference - especially if your boosted. :P I know that with the mods I'm currently doing, it'll definately help.
