yeah what he said

[xALmoN]

pod has nothing to do with roadworthy, just make sure its bolted down securely.

that's the only issue that i can foresee with regards to the pod.

[emts]

ok so oil cooler kits, what should I be looking for?

what should I be avoiding?

bout time I started modding the car again..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

quality fittings and hoses.

you can use a cheap core if you want... as long as the fitting and hoses are A1

personally i'd just go for a non thermo one on a predominantly track car, makes oil changes easier and you wont be driving it round cold like a daily

[Birds]

I just look in the rear vision mirror, if I see nothing behind me it means I bought a good oil cooler.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

solid oil cooler installation advice

[Count Grantleyish]

Huge pothole is now gone

Pretty much what Hamish said

I had a chat to Trent about it a few weeks ago and he said just becareful of shitty designed cooler cores. As he was using a core than ran 10c hotter than the one he has now.

It saying that Trent runs a el cheapo $80 one lol. This is the one that works

[scotty nm35]

I have your cooler hoses, fittings and that Greddy thermostat adapter here Tony, when are you going to buy that super oil cooler core you are raving about?

Track days coming....

I thought you were sourcing my Cooler core lol

How long you need the car for?

I was thinking about entering Calder.....but a bit low on funds and time atm

[UNR33L]

Ive seen cars with oil coolers fuel efficiency go to shit if its a street car cos it'll just be cold all the time

[UNR33L]

Toby, take your car to calder drags I wanna see the beast in action!

[Plattsy]

thats why you get thermo cooler.

Are you taking your car there?

Can't say I've ever been keen to go to a drag day

Maybe if SAU VIC organises one this year ill go

[Mohsen]

Setting up the kitchens at Broadford...? For the canteen that closes at 12, otherwise known as lunchtime, on a track day?

I'm more than happy to receive their money.

Wasn't planning on it, but if you go down I'll come watch / maybe enter cos its cheap as chips anyway.

Will be throwing a twin 3" cat back exhaust on my car soon dat v8 burble brah

SAU had one at heathcote 2 years ago haven't had once since I think it was forum battle or something, won fastest ford trophy

[UNR33L]

This ^

Although if 100% track car not needed

[kaitoukid]

Never been to the drags, sound pretty fun.

But can't afford to replace transfer case or some shiet either

[UNR33L]

yeah drags are pretty fun, trying to squeeze that extra .1sec out always a challenge and the adrenaline pumps hard when you're racing or about to launch

really cheap compared to track days, and no need for racing licenses which is a bonus
