Water Temp

It's hot. Damn hot here in Tokyo. Fukushima is not much better and I've two days coming up. Must be mad! At TC1000 the other day the water temp was mostly around 110 but rose to about 115 on the long runs. The second 15 minute run was hardest on Roxy and me for that matter!

With this in mind, I'm going to flush my radiator of its winter coolant and am going to try out a mix of water and Redline's Water Wetter. The plan is to see if it helps. When it gets cold again, I'll flush and stick in some regular coolant again. It will be worth trying me thinks as the car can't work properly when its so hot or at least the cpu robs me of power. Hence Roxy is going to Super Autobacs tomorrow for a few hours. Apparently it can take about 5 hours to do this. Yikes... What do do while I'm waiting...

I'm also going to ask them to swap the front right/left tires. I had the wheels off last week and although the outside of the tires are almost gone (slip sign is long gone), the insides still look good. So if I can get them on the outside, it will be better for grip me thinks. I'm not willing to just reverse the direction of the tires by just swapping the right/left wheels. It costs 2,100 yen at SA to do this so worth doing me thinks.
