only issue would be if your running in traffic Im guessing. I think I pm'd you about this a while ago if im not mestaken. I cant for the life of me recall the answer to this question. What was the word on idle temps because of the removed fan?

I've been asked this question many times. Short answer is "non-issue", at least not when I'm driving it. Longer answer is this. Whenever the engine is calling for the vent fan to run due to heat, it gives me a "vent fan failure" message on my dash board. In the 4 years that I have owned this car, I've seen this message about 5 times. Those were the rare times I was caught in a bunch of stoplights in the hottest of summer. (I live in SC). Even then, the error light went away as soon as I started driving again.

Aside from that, the engine never calls for the vent fan to run while the car is in motion. So I have never seen that error message at the track.
