If they can't test it right away do a ****ing burnout in the parking lot, hot lap the block, then pull back in sliding sideways with the brakes locked up and ask if they've got time to do it now.

If you had ample cool down between hard use then that's probably why, and the instructor was probably pretty good at keeping you off the brakes.

EHT are great street daily pads, I love them on my Mazda. They're a little harsh on the rotors, by the time the pads are done the rotors will likely be as well, similar to a european pad.

Igniter can do that. No spark when hot is the usual thing those do. But so can cam or crank sensors. You need a noid light to see if you've got injector pulse or not in addition to no spark.

I would suspect a failing fuel pump, it's easy to replace on a guess.

That's great it's working so well. IAT controlled fan shouldn't be too hard, can probably do that with a simple radiator fan controller kit if you want it sooner than later I suppose.

They come on at temp, moving or not, as far as I know. I'd put that fan to come on when the AC system commands fan, not just whenever the radiator fans come on, since your problem is only with AC?

Yes, maybe even a lower temp TRD T-stat. Put thue Autozone and OEM side by side, you may see some minor differences

I sure hope so! You should get some heat shield on that pipe too!
