Added a new picture to post #31 to show the oil temp control solution.
Engine bay cooling improvements? DIY?

So how about vented hood and fenders? Perhaps some sort of plates or panels that channel the air out of the engine bay?

So did this actually help? I am considering doing the same.. My recent track day saw oil temps of as much as 295! 260-280 thoughout most of the day.
