Steam coming from just under wiper arm

Noticed this the last few days cos it's been cold and wet. I assume this is just a "feature"?

Oh, with it being cold and wet, I can now confirm the 111R is a great little drift mobile.

As long as it isn't green/blue then its just steam of the rad. TADTS

If you suddenly can't see then the rad has gone bang or a hose has come off. Worth checking the jubilee clips are done up on the rad hoses as I assume the build quality on the S2s is to the same awesome standard as the S1s

A feature is one way to describe it.

Can be a tad embarrassing sitting in traffic while everyone around you thinks your car is about to explode. Particularly as you drive off and have to switch on the wipers to see where ur going.

Thanks guys, I thought as much.

Anyone noticed their Toyota engined motor a bit spluttery on low revs first thing in the morning? Might as well get all the "features" out in the open at the beginning of ownership.

Not sure if it's common but mine also does similar (has from new).
Poor response on light throttle below 2.5K rpm. Above this (or with a bit more throttle?) it pulls normally. Only from cold and clears after <1 min.

Can make for a quite a jerky transition, I just drive it gently to the end of the road then it's back to normal.

Same here Ali; for the first 300m or so it almost feels as if the handbrake is on slightly its that sluggish. Then it clears no probs.

Cool, I just gave it a heavier foot this morning and it was fine. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't the beginning of a nastier problem.
