Thanks

bro... we have electric power steering.

that said my car overcools during street driving, but I need both oil coolers on track

you can run refined synthetic group 3 oils like mobil1. But don't run group 4 or 5 PAO or ester based oils. Mobil1 is not true synthetic, its highly refined hydrocracked dinosaur base stock

Wait so have you run 2 radiators mounted behind each other? Would you please elaborate.

I thank you for the information... but I cannot find anything under refined synthetic group 3 oils under Mobil 1? So sorry to ask dumb questions, but can you be a little more specific and to what I should be looking for... I really appreciate the help.

it sucks that people still think a Sohn matters, it’s just a hydrocarbon placebo ...

Got my RX8 a while back and found this very useful and was happy I bought a pretty standard one and thought the only mod was a larger exhaust which looks and sounds nice. Then when checking the fuse box I found this Microtech X4 IGBT. I assume it is something that changes the dwell or something else to do with ignition? Also concerning is the unconnected wire. I do know if I disconnect it the car doesn't run. What is it and should I get rid of it? If so how?
