Default Water temp..

ok i had my car for a few days and noticed that if i kept the car sitting in one place the car would start to overheat real quick and bad.. even when driving it after that and turning the a/c hardly helped at all. im aware that with the front mount its restricting alot of airflow to the radiator and what not. but, is there anything else i can do to help cool the water temp down? what would be better for cooling in you guy's opinion.. upgraded radiator or fans?

No need to upgrade the radiator unless you have plans for a high hp goal. SlimFans you can have them run constant so while your driving their still running. Unlike the stock fans that engage and disengage. What antifreeze if any is the car running? I use Redline WaterWetter plus a mixture of antifreeze. Works better with just straight water plus waterwetter but I don't like just running straight water thats just me. Car shouldn't be overheating like that unless the water pump is failing, thermostat is stuck, faulty radiator cap, etc.
