While all great advice, I can assure you that you DO NOT need an oil cooler. The brake upgrade should be further up the wish list.

Why no oil cooler? Two things:

1. You have an automatic;
2. Your driving style and environment - you don't track your car.

I regularly cruise (sometimes "intensely") with a group of cars (who you all know ms. pint) made up of 6-spd manuals with and without oil coolers. I regularly run 20 degrees cooler than the manual guys. It's got to be the auto transmission.

Additionally, with an oil cooler, the car takes longer to warm up when it is cool outside.

Oil coolers are a must for guys who track their cars; I'm not disputing that, nor do I think oil coolers are extravagent add-ons. All I'm saying is that ms. pint's driving style is more like mine and spending money on an oil cooler should be way down the wish list.

That all being said, the brake upgrade would be a little further down the wish list too. From everything you have posted, it's clear you want a nice set of rims. THAT would be my target for now if I were you. Spending money on anything else just pushes that goal further into the future.

Sermon over. You're a big girl and it's your money. Just passing along my two cents worth ( if that much) of advice.

Well said Gurney... I couldnt agree with you more.

Thanks Mike! You've posted everything I wanted to say last night but didn't want to thumb type on my tablet. I am going for aftermarket mirrors first since the OEM ones do block my forward view a bit. I've been eyeing the EVOR version but I'm waiting to see what sorts of complaints are received first.

Hope you had a blessed turkey day sir!

and btw, new fridges have this new technology called filters... they can filter air... oh, and you know that stuff called baking soda... does wonders...

I am a fat kid inside.. I know how to prevent odor transfer among food items...

fat kid.... filter... fridge....

Let me ask you bud, if the temperature is the same, do you prefer to stay inside an air-conditioned room breathing those circulating air... or do you prefer open the window and breath the fresh air????

You are quite welcome ms. pint!

I would be a bit leery of EVO-R only because the customer communications and product delivery is so shaky. There are a similar set of mirrors that EVO-R basically copied, Craftsquare - mr. kenchan has them on his car, and they were even mentioned in the EVO-R mirror thread - that I would order first.

I've seen them in person, and they are very nice.

EVO-R 370Z Light weight Mirrors

Go to post #30.

Sorry you have to work today. Have a good weekend.
