True, but remember a water cooler still only transfers the heat to another 
point in the case.
Once there the heat is now in a tank of some kind, and this then has to be 
cooled.
All we can gain is that maybe the tank is bigger, and we can have a larger 
surface area to cool, perhaps with a bigger and quieter fan.
Pretty expensive solution..
A little too "ricey" for me!

Aw, come on, chop off the studs, add a cool air filter, maybe a spoiler, 
and perhaps some clear tail light lenses, blue lights, and (of course) some 
stickers!!
"VTEC" and "Type R" perhaps..

That will make it run at least 15C cooler!!
