Hot Spiders

[Forza <headroom@domain.elided>]

Hello,

	Just a comment on what's been said many times on this digest "My Spider 
Runs Hot"

I have never experienced that, My spider always ran cool under 180 
till  install a new 180 thermostat , now it's been locked at 180 for 18 
months.  Please note..I live in South Florida where the average  temp is 
80+ degrees.  So I don't know if I'm just lucky of if I just have a well 
maintained engine.. I won't complain.  I had also installed Red Line 
"Wetter Water" to my antifreeze, perhaps this helped.

  Tomorrow, I'll be driving the car for the first time in two 
weeks.  ("Leaping Lena"  named after my 80yo mother, who till this day, 
loves to ride with me my open Spider, we get a lot of looks.. God Bless 
Her)  The radiator will now have distilled water and "Wetter Water" 
only.  This is what Red Line recommends.  Since I have no worries with 
freezing down here, I've opted to try this for better cooling, and because 
it's friendly to our earth.

No I'm Not A Tree Hunger,
