For all you looking for the least little thing to improve performance here's a little mod that is easy and somewhat useful. The two horns mounted in front of the rad inhibit airflow a wee bit through the rad. I moved them from their original position (flat and side on to airflow), to a position mounted on the centre plastic strut dividing the grill space so that they are now turned 90 degrees and offer less profile to the air flow. Easy to do. Just unplug and detach with 13 mm socket. Remove metal brackets. Drill 5/16 holes on either side of plastic nose strut ensuring the horns will not project out too far blocking the grill as it is lowered, and away from hood catch. Then swap the horns so when mounted the opening stays down, and bolt into position using the existing nuts on the bolt mounted on the horn. Plug in before tightening.
Adds a few sq inches of airflow...every little bit helps when the rad cools tranny, oil and engine.
Cheers,
