You would have to use the radiator to make that work.

I was beginning to fear the Corvair was too obscure a car for people to understand the waterpump on it. whew

 

Yeah, the rad was back in the trunk, under the spare tire.

What, you didn't use this?



It's on sale this week, I think.... Kale Automotive

 

Nathan, you need to get these guys as vendors here, at least get them to sponsor this thread:lol:

Just great.. So we are supposed to change the air 4 times a year, but my dealer won't do this because the computer says I still have 8,000 miles left to go till the next service.

What am I going to do now?

 

Swap the air yourself, just save the old air so you can put it back in if you need to go to the dealer:ihih:

Hush, man, don't you know some dealers read this forum? I've chipped the air in my tyres for extra grip, so I don't want them looking at tyre air in case my warranty is invalidated.

I chipped both my dogs too, they now can run 20% faster, but they poop 20% more too! Oh well, you win some.......

 

I dont have any experience with the Chipped Air personally, but I hear you can get a tighter roatation of of the hub...especailly if you use the seasonally correct replacement air...
I also agree that you should keep the original air just incase its a lease. The Dealer will surely ding you if it comes back with aftermarket air...
I went to a bolt on high flow valve for decreased lap times and increased efficiency when changing air. It also made it easier to swap the seasonal air because Winter Air is a little thicker than the rest of the seasons. The summer air goes in no problem...just open the can and squeeze! Spring air is really smelly...smells like poo actually...the Autumn air is my favorite, crisp, clean, great for every kind of rotational speed. Only draw back is that it doesnt last as long as the other ones...seems like everytime I put the Autumn air into the High Flow Valves im switching to Winter Air almost immediately...but that is prolly because i am up here in Canada...
We have 2 seasons really...Winter and Construction Season.

 

I remember 5 months of winter, and 7 months of poor sledding:lol:

I've been running my rear tires 10 pounds higher pressure than the fronts so the front of the car sits lower and I gain fuel economy by coasting downhill.

 

Now there's one smart guy.

 

you mean 7 months of pulling the sled out of the lake and rebuilding it just to do it all over again...and expecting different results...

 

Don't worry about that... just drop the car off at my house for a week (with a full tank of gas, please) and I'd be happy to re-flash the chipped air for you. If I have a DE coming up, a weekend stay might be required to ensure that the job is undetectable by the factory-trained techs!

 

I got some Palo Uber air cheap--and it's worse than stock air--don't buy that crap! Melted my tires right of the rim, there was a distinct smell of methane mixed with sulfur.

Anyone know how I can get in touch with them to return it? I keep emailing, they never return my messages....

At the track, I put winter air the rears, summer air in the fronts--really helps with rotation.

 

There are numerous threads on the sewing site about getting in touch with certain vendors. From what I can tell you have to take a number, stand in line, and wait to be told that your the first customer with any issue about their product/service:rolleyes5:
