Look what I drove to work for the first time
Finally got to drive my Vette to work It did get a little warm on the trip home so I still have to try and figure out what to do there, I may have to go back to the stock configuration and dump the e-fans

make sure you're front spoiler is in place, i had to add a 2" extension to mine to help cooling at highway speeds when the efans are doing nothing anyway.

I love the color . . . looks GREAT. I remember the first time I drove mine to work. I loaded it down with all kinds of tools because I wasn't sure it would make it there and back.

ha, redman you sound like me, sometimes i take my battery booster box too, just in case. you never know.
but i just bought a CTEK battery charger/maintainer from rockauto, to keep the battery up when it sits for awhile.

Thanks guys I did ensure I had everything to change a tire but the motor is running well and the diff is new (rebuilt), so I'm not too worried about those things but the heating up issue has me bugged

My paint job is a 30' paint job - looks good from 30' away but has dirt and fish eye in it, also the front and rear bumpers have spots that are lifting too.

......sweet!!! Car looks great, and did I mention I was jealous of your nice weather, and being able to drive your Vette.....just sayin'.....
Runs cool cruising; gets hot moving along fast......seems opposite of what it should be.....hmmmmmm.
Which direction do your e-fans blow?
Apologies if your cooling problem has been discussed in a thread, and I haven't seen it. Still a newbie ya know.....

Here's a picture of my fan setup, they draw the air through the radiator (I was going to say something about a good woman but thought I'd clean it up )...

Kona.....nice..... Good Women with Vacuum.....
Set up looks really nice, only thing that stands out is the tin around the e-fans might be limiting the flow to those two areas rather than the whole radiator. I may be seeing it wrong too.....
