Hello guys!
These days I've run into a small cooling issue. At normal cruising speeds it runs fine, temp gauge runs in the middle, oscillating a tiny bit but nothing that's not normal. However, I've noticed that when I go "all out" with it, changing gears at 7000 rpm (just before the redline), by the time I hit third gear the temperature starts to go up. Of course, that doesn't mean I can't drive it, but I wanted to go to a trackday event in december, so I need to fix that.
I've checked everything in the cooling system and everything seems normal. Is there something more "stealthy" that I might have missed or something? Also, here in Brazil the law forced us to use license plates on the front of the car, and mine's placed right in front of the radiator (2Gb bumper), though that has never been an issue. I can take it off in the trackday, but I wanted to be on the safe side. Could changing the fluid fix that? I change it (as well as all the other fluids) at the end of every year, and I haven't changed them yet.
Thanks guys!
