the stock radiator just sucks, buy the racing one from the catalog.

Stock Radiator works just fine if you drive the car in a normal style :D

Tighten all bolts on the clamps on the hoses.
Replace the water pump
Refill the Radiator and make sure the cap is completely closed.
And make sure you have enough oil in the engine as it is also responsible for cooling the engine.

The effect you are describing occurs when the engine overheats. And as already said the old radiator is good when you drive the satsuma like a normal human being :D The engine will overheat when you drive it for a longer time at high RPM. I shift at 6000 RPM into next gear - and on highway I try to keep it at about 4000 RPM in 4th gear - that should be enough for the speed limit and the engine should not overheat.

If the car overheats also when driving it like described above there is then something wrong with the engine. Could be bc of to less oil or coolant in the engine. Could be bc of a broken water pump. Even a broken Head Gasket could be the problem.

OK I took a look at your savegame and I found out that there are a few problems with your car. Two of them have to be changed so that the car will run as it should.

1. Distributor
The Distributor has to be turned. Needs to be done when the engine is running.
Unscrew max. 3 clicks otherwise the engine will stall.
then change to the hand tool and scroll down until you hear a ticking sound.
then turn into the other direction until the sound is gone again.
dont turn to fast as it takes a few moments to change.
then fasten the bolt again

2. The Air Fuel Ratio is way off:
Thats the main reason why the car is overheating. Go to the catalogue and order the AFR Gauge (the one for 549,-) and install it into the car. Then let the engine warm up and set the Ratio to about 14,8. If I remember correct I had to scroll down 20-25 clicks.

With these two things changed the car runs fine and has enough power to drive properly. I drove from home to the intersection behind the train tracks and back without any problems.

Further in the near future you should change the following parts:
- Alternator
- Rocker Shaft
