tontvti Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Me too I just wedged a bit of cardboard in the lower part of the front grill on the left in front of the radiator, I actually had a warm car Thinking about it; people put intercoolers infront of radiators and they're fine, I wouldnt block up the whole radiator. Just doing the bottom seems to have done enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
