HEAT!!! the 2.5L cooling system is NOT adequate for this motor in track conditions. it was only 84F out and after only about thirteen minutes full tilt, the car would heat up to 225F before i'd pit to let it cool. i was even shifting 300 revs shy of redline. i will be installing the center radiator, removing the AC condensers, replacing the supply lines to the motor with the 'S' version, and eventually, removing the AC compressor. i will also be adding some vents to the wheel wells to allow for better flow through the radiators.

Insite;
I installed the center radiator from a tiptronic and it made all the difference in the world..! Suncoast sells the complete kit
However I noticed that your front bumper does not have the opening on the center for the radiator, would you be replacing the bumper with one that has the center hole or cutting one..?
I remember that I had to cut rectangular outlets at the bottom of the bumper to allow the hot air out (similar to the ones with an auto transmission).
