I might just take you up on that! I got my kit on Saturday, but haven't gotten any quotes yet. I'm in no hurry for the oil cooler itself, but I am due for an oil change -- as the Z loves to remind me every time I start her -- and don't want to put that off too much longer. By the end of this week I'll know my schedule for the next month and will (hopefully) have made some calls; I'll PM you if interested. Thanks so much for the offer!

Point taken.

Someone might be willing to assist but I doubt anyone is going to just do the work, as simple as it is, entirely for you.
Woah! I would never expect anyone to do any work on my car for free/just to help me out. First of all, no one would: I'm old and fat. (Offer still good, takjak2?? ) But second, and more to the point, that's totally not my style. If something needs to be done and I'm not willing/able to do it myself, I fully expect to pay someone.

I would say you could be completely hands off the mechanical stuff if you wanted but the fact that you want to track it occasionally will force you into having to do these things whether you really want to or not.
...but only because of this car. Not in general. This will be the third car I've tracked and I never had to worry about doing "these things" with either of the others. It's just a bit frustrating that with this car SO MUCH CRAP has to be added/monitored/replaced just for a day at the track.

I have a habit of being very long-winded and I apologize.
Not all all! This whole thread has been good stuff. I really appreciate everyone's input.

This forum is full of great information. Just keep digging in some of the older threads. You'll find an answer for almost everything else.
There is no "everything else." The questions I've had, I've posted here.

And I've been "digging in some of the older threads" since I joined/got my Z 16 months ago -- that's how I knew which oil cooler to get in the first place.
Z Stig and Tigger like this.
