Car is looking great. :)
My Fireblade does get hot quickly and the rad fan has been coming on a lot in the hot weather.
Temp hovers around 195 - 205 Deg F.
I think because a bike engine is so much smaller, and does not have a huge cast blck to warm up, it dosent take long for heat to generate.
I couldent tell you for sure how long it takes to warm up in mins though sorry, will try next time I start.
Some attention to detail going on there, looks a superb job.
I'd second that. the car is looking fantastic. Can't be long till it's ready for testing!
