i think its about 70 degrees, if you've got a yellow bible (vizard) its listed in there. Take it that its for a ministock? i like oval racing, go quite a lot mainly to buxton you ever been there?

i think its at the 70-80 degree mark, most minis run at this anyway, although when travelling slowly the temp does go up around 90

Nah i havent been to buxton irace at arena-essex mildenhall and dover. it is because my mini may be running too cold to get full power as we have a four blade chopper fan on it. Are there any easy ways to heat it up a bit?

only easy way i would have thought would be to change the fan for an 11blade fan or try limit the amount of air flowing over the radiator gills
or as jammy says change the thermostat for one which opens at a higher temp, but i'd just go for changing the fan, i believe the 4 blade fans were used on export minis to hotter countrys, so thats where i'd start

i do not have a thermostat but i have a thermostat blanking sleeve it is a two piece fan so if i reduced it to two blades would this push through less air?
