Hi there after on idle for 20 miins looking for a water issue  i noticed even tho very hot on all hoses  my interior gauge shows about one quarter up from cold,so my qustions are at what stage do the elec fans come on they didnt in the 20 mins  im really wondering if im overheating .

Where is the sensor located?

  what sensor turns them on?

Booster fan sensor is at the bottom tank on the driver's side.

Just because the gauge says something, does not make it true. Check resistance of gauge sensor against values in manual, expected gauge position, and temperature reading from laser pyrometer on radiator hose(s).

Don't know about your car specifically but those fans are usually triggered when the air cond is overwhelmed. The stock gauge is usually calibrated so that it doesn't move into the "hot" indication until your engine is very hot indeed. See if you can get hold of one of those temperature guns (like you see people on TV pointing at people's foreheads to test for Covid) and check your inlet and outlet hoses to make sure your radiator is not blocked or your thermostat stuck.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
