Call me crazy, but I bet you could even hook it up to a temp sensor so that the fan and the pump automatically shut off after the coolant reached a certain low temp.

I know others have thought of it, and some have done similar mods, but it would be great to see a kit to do this for us guys that aren't exactly DIY-enabled.
My IC pump has been wired to a switch since I installed the CM30 and I have two 450cfm fans. Turning the pump on is one of the first things I do when I get in the car. Like waldig, I haven't figured out the factory fan control box yet. I thought it was a giant relay at first, but after playing with a meter a bit yesterday I dont think so. Once I figure it out I will probally ditch my mini fans. I'm sure wiring the factory fan to a switch combined with the needswings supercooler would be the best option for the keeping IC fluid temps down.
