Heat!

um just to divert.... my coolant temps are stable but my underhood temps are significantly lower simply from heat wrapping my extractors all the way to the collector...

and yes i have a tool to measure high temps and yeah my $40 no brand low temp thermostat works :D

don't raise the bonnet, ****ing dangerous idea. i know someone who had a front collision with that... the edgey bit of the bonnet near the hinges went straight though the windscreen. any faster of an impact and both driver and passenger are dead... i don't neg rep but only coz i've seen what can happen i would neg rep each one of you that suggested it if i could be ****ed

yeah but i've also seen a dc2 with a bonnet like so, with 1-2 washers on the bonnet, not alot, been in a front end, and it ended up fine as well.
i'm not disagreeing with you, the bonnets highly raised are dangerous, but just slightly, shouldn't cause too much trouble.

knowing the owner of the car doesnt mean jack. i know the owner of a commodore. does that mean i know the actual and ideal engine and underbonnet temps for that car? of course not.

if you have measured them, youd have a point...so have you?

round 7, neither contestant seems to be letting up

l wonder if a few more rounds will we get a KO?

OH DAMIT!!! this crap still goin

maybe i shoudl make myself CLEARER!!!

the engine temp is running FINE temp gauge is still just a tad below middle point

BUT!! even without fanging the car... just normal driving.... for anything more den half an hour
i can go out and not be able to leave my hand on my bonnet for more den 5 seconds cos it starts to burn

yes, most cars get that hot. yours is nothing special. if your paint is fading, its because your paint is crap. my da9 is 15 years old and the bonnet is fine. it gets hot too.

you need suggestions for a spray painter, not cooling.

well dont ask questions if youre not prepared to deal with the replies. you wanted advice. i gave you advice.

should i send the waaaahmbulance?

man that is not normal if you cannot put your hand on your bonnet for longer than 5 seconds. Don't do the washer thing it is dangerous. Just do what someone mentioned earlier and place a cold air pipe from your bumper into the engine bay
