Oil temp or water temp? Not good and it's only May.

Both. We are going to try to mount the oil cooler in a different location and I'm going to bleed the coolant system. The issue MUST be solved in time for ZDayz.

Ooops forgot you were boosted. That system is sick! Where's the extra heat coming from? Increased stress due to forced induction or poor coolant design?

Did an LED swap. Blue map lights/trunk and hyper-white for license plate. Looks great!

I took my 370 out to the Volvo Club of America autocross event at Mather Field -- just to watch. Friggin amazing, some of these built Volvos. Who would have thought? Lowered and tuned Volvo Station Wagons with Sparco seats. Wow.

Both of my sons drove their cars -- a 1983 Volvo 244 and a 280zx turbo. Here is a clip of the 280zx run. 2 cones lost their lives.

YouTube - 280ZX Turbo at VCOA Autocross May 14th

And a few shots:

I enjoyed the video. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
