The AC system will only need the fan whilst stationary anyhow, I'll just drop a little gas out the system to keep pressure/temp down in AC system.

My non AC car had no issues at spa, whereas shimmy had to lift off. Well that's what he said, maybe that was his excuse for not be able to keep up

The oil temp has always worried me, but they all seem to do this.

I however this time am running a system that will dramatically reduce cylinder temps, ergo lower oil temps

I think the number plate disrupts the airflow and I think that the fact that I never run mine on track is why I have never experienced water temp issues .

Given I also change the oil after every second track day, I think I'll be okay then, but I will wait with interest to see how Adem's / your car performs with the diverter valve / fan removal and then make a decision on whether one of these with an inline thermostat is worth while.

As I mentioned on a previous thread, the US guys rave about removing the bulky OE fan arrangement and replace with SPAL fans, so is this what direction you will be going?
