Did you work out the radiator problem with the 928's? Notorious over heats...

I also owned a 928 in the past:

And I'm dead serious, it was exactly like that one. It used batteries like there was no tomorrow though :D

God thats funny i played with that same one my aunt bought it for me long time ago yeah i know what you mean about those batteries.

Also very NICE 928 AO928
 
Thanks guys...

Yeah the 928 is a very fun car... especially with the addition of a twin-screw supercharger. It will beat 99% of the cars that are out there and it feels so planted doing it. Really a ton of fun.

No issues with overheating. The autos may be a different story as they have the integrated tranny cooler in the rad... mines a 5-speed. :)

Here's a few more pics of the Supercharger install.
