The green roadster there is an engineering car, pretty used and abused... especially the outside and inside. However its still running which I like to see
Those finger marks across on the back that wiped some of the dust were from me! The paint job on the back felt and looked like it was done with a spray can. Would be nice to just do that and not care. Pure test and utility.
No. That's the standard Roadster 2.x motor. Air is forced in that black band and goes through the cooling fins out the side. On earlier models they had an extra bronze colored shroud on the motor.
Yeah, this was my point. I figured automatic transmission fluid, particularly since the note was on the transaxle end. Only humored with antifreeze because of Petefish's liquid cooled suggestion.
Looks normal to me. That black air duct is partially covering the motor. You have to look from the side to see the cooling vanes. :smile:
That's been the speculation for a while. Though I thought there was a report of a non-Sport Roadster with a motor that still had that S on it. At any rate, I said "normal" to mean air cooled.
