That expanding foam was a mistake. It actually holds water in and against the metal parts.

@dandil 3 года назад

There's no real need for the radiator upgrade, even on track. What you should look into is an oil cooler, either oil to coolant or oil to air. The MWR one I really liked since it has a thermostat. Also, with these McPherson all around cars you need to be careful with lowering the ride height as it messes up the camber curve, and there's no way to fix it on the rear. For anyone watching: adjustable roll bars with stock springs and upgraded dampers gives you the best bang for buck

@dougmoore6612 3 года назад

Titanium and steel are pretty far from each other on the galvanic corrosion chart. Judging from the mud daubers and general greenery in your video, those nuts low down and on the outside of the car might be a little rough to remove. However, I do want to say that track bar is a definite improvement!

@raulfernandez9943 3 года назад

I work in the pest control industry, that was a mud dauber nest on the radiator. They are solitary wasps that make nests out of mud, abduct spiders to put inside and then plant their eggs, once the eggs turn to larvae, they will eat those spiders and leave the nest. They are docile and won't sting unless you are bugging them.

@4BillC 3 года назад

The poo on the radiator was a wasp nest. They capture spiders by a paralyzing sting, lay eggs on/near them encased in mud. When the wasp eggs hatch they then eat the spiders before eventually breaking through the mud as an adult wasp. I see them all the time in PA!

@thomashadley589 3 года назад

I have a harddog to rollbar in my Miata and I absolutely love it, the piece of mind is huge, and it stiffens up the rear end so much. Also holy hell is it much easier on the Miata. I installed mine by myself, having never done anything on a car other than brake jobs, and i did it in my driveway. With that it still only took like 4 hours. If i knew what i was doing i could probably have done it in 2 hours.

Came here for the love of toyotas. Little did i know i came across a gem of a channel. Didn't know that about the coolant. Good shit man.

@tonyodonnell7189 2 года назад

3 tips for Track use: the Mr2/s has to be raised at the back to allow the coolant lines empty, if its left level up to 4 liters can be left in the system, you don't need to change the radiator unless its damaged, the best option is racing coolant, which is expensive but keeps the engine at the perfect Temp regardless of how many laps or how hard you push it, and lastly, the number one engine oil is Mobil 1, motorsport formula, again keeps the oil temps perfect, as the engine is in the back and heating is a problem, regular motor oil can Thin Out during a heavy track day, and that will effect the Temp which can get very high and the car then needs to park up and let the oil return to normal. I have been running Mr2 track cars for years and this area is the only weakness in the cars,

@teejayhoward 3 года назад

That hardware store foam is what is known as Open Cell foam. You never, EVER want to use that on a car. It absorbs moisture and holds it right against the metal... Accelerating the oxidization process. What you needed to use inside is a spray wax. It'll adhere to the metal and prevent corrosion. It's also available in a spray can with a 360* nozzle so it'll reach the parts you can't see.
