[200q20v] RE: oil temps; RS2 hot at track too

[tommy.arnberg at nokia.com]

Hi Jerry !

The cooler thermostat Degrees are stamped to the 
thermostat part  100 C (mounted inside filer feet).  
I think then it is full open/or starts to open at 100C ?

An evo cooler should be very good idea. My friend with real RS2
has oil temp problems at track too   :  slightly above 130C  marker.

Tommy
