I have an oil cooler and think its a worthwhile mod especially if you want to track the car..

99% of the kits are not done properly, for instance the Process West one.

With the piping changed, they are ok. But most people won't bother with that.

the whole sandwich plate above the filter for most oil coiler setups is flawed imho

yes i agree with that DIY FTW should cost around 600 to do with teflon braided fittings and lines..

buy a 05+ spec c, get a factory oil cooler.

I believe all cars with an oil cooler should have an oil thermostat to be of any real benefit.

not have an oil thermostat is as retarded as not having a water thermostat, but some people still do it.

I do have oil thermostat, braided lines and earls fittings.
