So true.^^

Ive got a 14, the oil cooler is useless. Even when ambient temps here in FL were in the 70s my oil would still creep to around 210F. when driving in some traffic.

I have my first real mod waiting to be installed once the weather clears up. Cat-back exhaust really makes these cars sound like they should from the factory.

It all depends on what you want out of the car though. A lot of people throw on an oil cooler so they can track the car for extended periods of time. Do you plan on doing any auto-x or HPDE events? Your needs might be different if you do.

You would probably be fine without an aftermarket oil cooler in that case. I went with a Catback as my first mod so I'd suggest the same for you.

*Edit* For another SRT-4 owner if your avatar is correct. I traded in my 04 for my Z.

Forget those things and take a out a very large loan for some forced induction, exhaust, new tires, new clutch, new body kit, new rims, new paint job (my personal favorite Lotus Chrome Orange), new seats, NOS decals only for intimidation purposes, sticker of calvin from calvin and hobbes peeing on a poor VTECH Honda, and last but not least a lemony scented tree thingy hanging from your rear view mirror screaming to the world, yes! I smoke weed in my car!

Seriously though who cares man do what you want to do. Looks or performance? Then go from there.

Right on. Who will ever need money for the future, anyway?
Just don't chicken out. Nothing worse than people who go halfway doing s***t.


Seriously? Clearbra, Swifts and spacers.
