Wanna go Shannonville some day?

BTW, have you noticed any difference between before and after of Z1 oil cooler?
yeah, i'd definitely like to go to shannonville. i don't see any trackdays for there this year on touge, or even the pay per lap. what did you have in mind?

yes, the oil cooler definitely makes a difference. on the street, temperatures are about 80-90 or go up to 100 if i push it, even in hot weather. compare that to before the cooler, where my oil temp regularly went to 110 even on a relaxed cruise, and would go to 120 or so with a bit of aggressive driving.

on the track, my temp never went above 110 even when i was pushing hard. granted, it was cold on sunday, in addition to the track being short and tight so you only really use full throttle for 15-20% of the lap or so. but still, i'm pretty sure i would have hit limp mode even then if i didn't have the oil cooler. i predict a track like shannonville with more full throttle high rpm pulls and at a higher atmospheric temp would probably heat the oil a bit more, but i'm fairly confident that even then, the oil temp will still be a long way from limp mode. i definitely recommend a 34 row cooler for anyone serious about their trackdays.
