Yeah even the first gens have/had that foam piece between the oil cooler and
the radiator (on the SAs) so that air would be forced thru the cooler and
radiator. Plus the underpan missing on a 1stgen is a prescription for overheating.

Good work on dealing with it Jamin. Hope to see you around. B3R for sure!

I think because these cars all tend to have the openings under the bumper,
the trays and how things seal around the radiators are key. Otherwise the
air takes the easy way out and dumps out under the engine. The trays also
help create a vacuum under/behind the radiator to help pull the air thru, at
least to my untrained eye that seems to be the case for why the trays
often extend back all the way to the engine.

I'm not a 2G owner but I see a lot of similiarities all the same.
