Be interesting to see how it performs in high ambient temps Shane. Oulton this week won't be greatest test.

We can compare with you guys though, see whats what.

I reckon it will work just as well as an oil cooler will. But we will see.

I used to see 125*c at oulton virtually all year round, I know its a different car, but if it stays down then its

I say I have it fitted, Im lying, its arriving tomorrow. Fitting it tomorrow along with some nice fresh oil, an intake air temp sensor, seats, harnesses, coil packs. Getting her tip top for the thrashing at Oulton park.

Pity I not got a set of 18" rims here. , I have generous stock of nice 18" tyres.

Excellent Shane. really looking forward to tomorrow.

I've got an aftermarket oil cooler fitted. Had it for a couple of years now. Be very interesting to see comparison in same conditions.

I'm VERY interested to hear feedback on this "upgrade".

On my car the oil temps are always ok but if I really really push the car on track the water temp will eventually rise until I drop down my tempo. It's enough to slow for half a lap to get the water temp down. Still very annoying. Really want it solved.
