I will bet there Saturday but unfortunately due to problems locating **** I probably won't do anything. It's very frustrating. Still no shocks, still need another pair of spacers, and still no rims. The cooler stuff is getting complicated too but I should have all the fittings, hose brackets, etc. by the end of this weekend. The local places I have contacted all only have bits an pieces so my dad had to round of all the stuff for me.

I may take you up on that. I'm thinking of taking a day off during the week to do the battery relocation and the SOHN because I need to get it done. The shocks will be an all day affair (when I get them) and then I need help installing the oil pressure gauge.

The cooler will need an all day Saturday because I wanna do it right. The rear rotors and pads could definitely be an after work job. What else, HMMMM.....

I think with enough planing we can do the oil cooler in no more then a few hours if we have a plan of action. I think it would be cool if you mounted it on top of your under tray and put a over under scoop. one that looked like.

So then we need to get something to direct the air. And stock to mount it. The main issue is getting the lines made. Plus my oil thermostat is still en route.

not trying to be funny... but what about dryer vents? they are easily manipulated

you can route them easily from the side vents where the stock coolers sit

To easy! You can use plastic from about anywhere! If i were to put an inlet in the bottom of the under tray I would simply cut the under tray and and Use JB Weld or something smiler to it to bond some plastic sourced from a bit of scrap.

Cut a l___l shape into the under tray make a few triangle shaped plastic cut outs and JB weld them into the open space on the side of the flange you just pushed down.

I have a catless (resonated) midpipe though... so it might be too loud lol. We'll see. I've already got my RB sold so I'll have to put up with it for a while if I dont like it.
