So far all is well, and more to the point... no chance of a milkshake in my gearbox! I used the PWR Cooler, got some lines, and a set of fittings from ebay (tried cutting the stock exchanger pipes off but it was to dodgy for my liking) I dont have an auto trans temp gauge however took it to the drags the other weekend, and no problems after 5 consecutive runs. Noticed the oil was a discoloured when installed the cooler, so I am going to get a flush very shortly...The install itself wasnt too hard, had to relocate the horn, and extend the fog light wiring a little bit... no big deal! Im pleased with the result.Running stock power levels atm, also I have a 10 inch thermo fan that im am going to fit to the front of my oil cooler, when I can be bothered :headbang2:This is the PWR cooler I usedAnd the fittings I bought off ebay!Mounted the cooler under the DS headlightUsed a die grinder and made a few slits in the wheel arch to let the air flow through!Any questions feel free to ask! 1

It's been delayed as Albin can't find a block big enoughto make driveshaft out of. Will be lucky to be back this year. Pointless going back to std temporarily IMO as will just break again at track but will be ok or street use. Might just wait for strong stuff me thinks.
