Default Additional precautions for Phoenix heat

Do you Phoenicians do anything special to keep your Z cool? Fluids, mods, etc? When is everyone meeting again, I want to see what everyone has done to their rides. I'm new

You shouldn't have to do anything special, but little things can help. I'm runnin a Greddy radiator, coolant additives, and a higher pressure Nismo cap on it but I mean you run the same temps no matter what. I do think I am getting heat soak after driving around for awhile in the middle of the day but theres nothing to worry about unless you are running it hard. As for meets AZ350Z has some stuff and Westside Z Meet for now.

Cool thanks! Do you use Purple Ice? I've read it does a little to help. I just hate driving around when it's 115 out.

I used better coolant, the higher pressure radiator cap and a better thermostat when I was in Tucson for school.
