Oil cooler lines for $180? Yup :-)

Hey everyone I'm a new owner of an 04 RX-8 and needed new lines. I was shocked that least expensive ones available were $500! So I got my measurements and went to my local hydraulic shop and in 45 minutes had my lines. They are much higher quality, 2 layers of SS braiding, 3500 psi, 600 deg, and abrasion resistant outer lining. It cost me only $180, so remember, buy local!

Really cool!

Did you bring the old ones with you as a reference for the shop?

I notice the ends/fasterners (whatever you call 'em) are not the same as the OEM ones. No point to make there, just a remark.

What I did was buy 6' of that hose and mock run each to get measurements and figure out exactly how I wanted to run them and what angles I needed for the fittings. Then used that hose for the longest line and only wasted $5 in hose. I used adapters to convert from the banjo bolts to flare fittings

Yep, many have done this over the years. Good work!
