racecars belong on the track, trailer queens sit in the garage.

That only happens if you can't tune or service them...
I'm selling my rx after 6 years of ownership and 3 years of 100% track driving with the engine still in great shape

That IC is doing a great job of blocking flow to the rad. If it overheats ..... move it up.
