I don't want to swap to an aftermarket radiator cap that has a higher pressure because this car doesn't need the higher boiling point, not to mention there's no reason to make it run a higher pressure. I also don't want a lower temp thermostat since this a daily driver and is driven in the winter, so the car needs to stay hot. I know I could do an aftermarket radiator, but that would basically just be bling since the stock one cools the car without an issues whatsoever. The only aftermarket thing I was going to do is use Samco radiator hoses instead of the OEM ones, whereas all the other hoses will be OEM. I know some people relocate the coolant tank, but this one will be staying to keep things simple on this daily driver. I am replacing all of the coolant hoses on the engine to replace them with fresh ones. Also, I will be replacing the stock hose clamps with the screw type hose clamps since it's strongly recommended by shop manuals and Hayne's manuals to secure a better fit. Anything I'm missing or should change or upgrade? |
Anyone have anything to put in on this? :)
