Now if you are planning to run without the bumper beam then that is a different story.
I think the only successful turbocharged 86 out here who can do 25-30 min sessions without heat issues is @ ImperiousRex who still saw 230 F coolant at the end of the session. |
A lot of lessons learned the hard way, but now we know what it takes to keep the car cool.
If you're willing to lose the crash beam, then a lot of options open up...
