Like the Jedi Knight, I'm a BN7 owner and have worked to counter the cooling issues. A bit of that has appeared in this forum. Interestingly, early on I took my radiator to a place recommended by another club member and had it recored. The proprietor told me that my radiator had been hit at some point, and I recall that rusty water spilled out of it when it was removed. I had what was said to be an improved core installed and was surprised that the tendency to run warm didn't seem to have been reduced at all. Though it is common in Florida to run these cars without thermostats and with the heaters valved off, I am convinced that it is best to run a thermostat. I use a 160 degree thermostat with the Moss bypass blocking tube. I have a Texas Cooler installed by the PO, a shroud around the fan that I created, and an overflow tank. I also recently shimmed the bottom of the radiator away from the frame member behind the bottom tank, as described in a previous post. My car will get quite warm when stopped at traffic lights if the ambient temperature is in the '90s, and I have seen it reach toward 230 degrees when at a stop. I have yet to have any boil over, however. I think cockpit heat and toasty coolant temperatures are just part of owning these beautiful cars.
