Did we ever decide who was the best long distance carrier?

  yes, it will cause Quite a bit of drag!  Once the FC's fail I've been going w/ electric fans..  You may even be able to get by w/ just the aux fan (Set it up to come on about 80C, or put it on a manual switch) and see what that does for you.

  If you go electric, I've Very pleased w/ the quality of the Spal fans .

      Hi all,

      My cooling fan clutch is frozen on the car (permantly engaged).

      What effect will this have on the car?   I know if the clutch didn't
      engage the motor would overheat.  But I wonder if this has an
      effect about fuel economy.

      Best wishes


      Andy
