magnets on fuel line
Barry, you have too much "coolant" in your cooling system
the water is what removes the heat,
the coolant protects the engine from the water
and you are getting less airflow because of the blockage of the front plate
1. more water, less coolant in your next replacement (to 70-80% water)
2. bend the plate corners to direct some air flow rather than flat to the
wind /\
3. get one of those swing up license plate mounts (diy now ? (see
miata.net))
4. mount the plate higher than the opening
-old solution was bend it up and store on dash
5. move to a less dracionian nanny state
from nowhere
