yeah you can go thermos

but if your standard fan/shround is fine id keep it

if you want though AU falcon thermos/shround is a good choice for thermos and fits relitavly easy

there's no real gain to be had from removing a viscous fan,unless it's not working properly anymore.

as locky said,thermos can be made to fit without a huge amount of work. an RB's fan is an upgrade if your current one isn't up to the job.

What mods have you done to your car? Have you noticed something that makes you want to change the fan?
