Oil Cooler advice
dont see why not howeer you would be better off time and finaces depending. yoyu can convert to full flow witha thermostatic valve. ive been doing quite a bit of looking about recntly and essentially our oil system is only partially cooled. it comes off the oil tree then through the cooler back to the sump, many of the yanks are using full flow allowing better circulation through the block and more effiocent cooling. have a look at the z1 site ay there oil cooler kits.

I've been painting all day, what do you think so far?
external cooler is old skool lol. another couple of coats she will be a goodun. you using a compressor or rattle cans? still is gonna be a track car isnt it? if so i think you need something seriously lairy to balance out like glossy dayglow green alloys or decals.... lol

im just worried about turbo seal failure.

i know its been done to death but should i decat?
i dont know what state the turbos are in, but they dont smoke presently. i have had a set of japspeed decats in my shed for a while now, but just the front decat not the downpipes from the turbos. so two questions first can i use these are or they for an n/a? second shouldi use them or am i asking for trouble, i think the cats are a bit restrictive at prestent. so whats the vote? i dont wanna have to recon the tubs as im on a budjet and it would be a pain in the ass pulling the block.

Spigot rings and spacers.... :s
Not running spigot rings on your aftermarket alloys to correct the centre bore is frowned upon because it put excess stress on the bolts. Thats fine that makes sense. However, if your running spacers even 5mm ones arent they going to have the same effect as the centre bore isnt touching? While were on the subject what is the maxiumum size spacer that can safely be used on the standard studs?
