>>>The radiator is leaning forward at a 60 degree angle to the airflow,
which just can't be optimal.  It is a thin radiator, which helps
airflow, but the real solution seems to be two, 3 speed electric
fans.<<<
And that arrangement sucks (not wind). Mazda redesigned the intake duct
system in 1995 and put it into production in the foreign models sold
till 2000. There was reverse airflow occurring in the system, and all
the baffles had to be intact to make it work adequately. There are LOTS
of problems with the way the FD cooling system does not seem adequate
for anything but daily driving. Lots of mods have been made over the
years of 1993-2000 to that system.
