I currently have a 3 row but due to space I was forced to use a pusher fan. Car temps go to 215f when sitting at a light other wise it's drops to 198 when moving. I just bought a 2 row koyo half size , but I don't know if the fan I have will fit as a puller.

Yup, I'm also running the cx-racing radiator (see sig), their shroud and I believe a flexalite 2k CFM fan. Going on 4 years now. Had the first one another 3-4 years before a large piece of metal went piercing through it on the fwy. Have also installed them in a couple EGs with no problems. I assume the manifold is deceptively closer to the radiator than it looks in the pic in your MRT and probably runs a lot hotter than my header. Because it almost looks like you have enough room.

No cooling issues at all. My fan is in the front pushing air through the rad, and I'm using a block off plate beside the rad (<-- this is a must for half rad as air will take the least resistant path).

That's sucks about the brake booster, I can't laugh cause I my have to change mine pretty soon.

Negative affects = dirt/rocks/ between pads and rotors causing you to scratch or mess up your rotors.
Positive affects = Save $ (assuming yours are swiss cheese)

My problem is that after brake jobs, the rotor sometimes touches the dust shield and causes a very annoying repetitive sound. I was just wondering if you noticed anything that may cause problems from not having the dust shield. I am tired of fixing the contact issue and have bent the dust shields so many times.
Next time I have the chance, I will probably remove them. Maybe it will help with cooling the rotors
