[Es2] things that tend to break on es2's at the track

[David Kase]

Hmmm, I never considered a cooler charge actually cooling the engine.  I 
really think the aux rad would be effecting than a bigger IC for cooling 
the engine.  I am running at a good 20 degrees C cooler with the aux rad 
installed.

If you have the stock S2 cross member I think you could run both the aux 
rad and a larger IC.  Then you are cooler and faster!

BTW, newbie question...What is the "FM" in "FMIC"?  Full Metal?
