The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VI

mr.jar- ok, i dont see the logic , but the price difference is not $200.

your original budget for CS mirrors were like $550+ so 550 - 100 = you're saving $450!!!

that sounds like a logical choice.... well, that's if you really need an oil cooler. in my case, my oil never gets that hot so i'd be like adding a huge GT wing on my Z that only does speed limit.

in other news, i got my tracking number for the star washers. so frikken expensive for 2 pieces of little metal shipped via USPS to splash tabasco onto the injury.

like flushing $17 down the toilet cause it will probably never arrive.

Kenchan logic =


I really need an oil cooler, which is why my decision to buy the mirrors was so illogical

The offer I had on the mirrors was $500 shipped. The nicer oil cooler will cost a little more than that. With Tru-Cool, I will save about $200 in comparison. The things I like about the Setrab are: I know it's high quality, I like that I can get their mounting bracket if I don't fab my own, and I like the look of the wider Series 9 cores. The things I like about the Tru-Cool are: it's inexpensive.

I hit 225F oil temps minimum with just about any style of driving in temperatures greater than 70F (10+ months out of the year here in the Austin). I had to back off at the track when I hit 290F after just a few laps

you need several oil coolers, not just one! with the $450+ savings, you can!

JARblue

you're no help!

i think if you're willing to spend the extra time making brackets, the $100 will do just fine. those oil cooler kits you're paying for painted bits, pre-cut metal, instructions, labor, packaging, warehouse costs, etc. etc.

they probably only cost $75 to make.

Ok, I decided to buy a turbo kit and then changed my mind. Since I just saved $10K, I'm getting oil cooler, RJM clutch pedal, replacement pedal pads, FI CBE, some sort of intake manifold when more are on the market, Carbon Signal steering wheel, Pioneer AVIC HU, speakers, amp, and subwoofer
