Mishimoto Automotive has teamed up with Prodrift and JDM Allstars Champion Eric O Sullivan for the coming season. The extra horsepower planned for the Corolla will of course create much more unwanted heat and so the cooling system must also be upgraded to handle this. Mishimoto cooling products may not be very well known here in Europe but after looking over some of their products at SEMA back in November Eric is sure this will all begin to change as they launch their extensive range of radiators, fans and electronics into the European tuning market.
Eric said “We are very proud to be part of this product launch and the new Corolla will now be equipped with an all new custom radiator, hose kit, twin electric fans and electronic fan control. One of the fundamental problems with drift cars is that they drive sideways so much of the time the radiator rarely gets good air flow to help it cool. This new larger radiator and twin fan set up from Mishimoto will eliminate any fears I had of overheating my new custom built Honda motor and help my car remain 100% reliable no matter what the competition throws at it”.
