so i ended up fitting up a greddy thermo oil block. no relocation kit. aeroflow lines and fittings and a just jap 19 row oil cooler. i am always a bit worried about fittings leaking etc but the aeroflow stuff is great quality, not many pics of the install but here it is peaking through the bumper...
while putting the car back together i fitted up the factory mesh, i really like the look
while these jap brand exhuasts are great, they do hang quite low so my cat back was a bit battered. ended up replacing the stock cat with a 5" 100 cell cat and a true 3.5" exhuast. the back of the hks muffler is actually 3.5" so we mated it up the existing rear muffler. no mid muffler in site. Best Mufflers in Carlton did the work. top quality stuff.
