    1995 6spd car. I have never given it much thought about my car having one until I was looking at some part diagrams today, and I can't seem to find any reference to it. Does the 456 have an auxiliary electric fan in front of the condenser and radiator? Or was it added by someone at some point? It's a very nice looking setup, hence my doubt.

    Thanks Terry. I think it's safe to say the third fan in front of the whole assembly is indeed an add-on then.

    lest and right - but from what angle you looking?
    Standing face to car, or sitting behind the stering wheel?

    That's quite a set up, I'm especially surprised someone felt the need for this in Canada.

    The car was originally from southern Japan, subtropical climate and lots of city driving so I guess it makes some sense.
    We do get to about 40 degrees C in midsummer here, and I never have had cooling issues. Hopefully that won't change.
