Damn.
I'm impressed JP got two -12's through there!!! 10's go through easy! Aaron, Ask your buddy Matt about some of the hacked shit the "factory" does to get a car to the track. I swear that half the stuff we see for the 914 that the "factory" did was all "patch work" they put ZERO engineering behind some of this. They are in the business to sell race cars. The tubs didnt have to last (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I like your setup. I personally beleive/know the cooler is too small for anything but sitting in traffic or a short 40sec AutoX. When I run the bigger coolers, I drop them down farther into the tub so they stay under the GT shroud. Josh is in a tough spot. He will have to runs something very creative. I find it hard to beleive a race org wont allow better cooling. It has not effect on performance..ha ha.. B |

QUOTE(Aaron Cox @ Jun 6 2006, 08:12 AM)  you're too picky, and it doesnt exist.... Yup. On both counts. Right now, I'm keeping the oil cooler hardware on the shelf 'till I get the car running. After that, I'll look into different options again. It may wind up coming down to cutting and re-glassing the spoiler to accomdate a 6-1/2" tall oil cooler, we'll see... -Josh2 |

It has not effect on performance..ha ha.. B It's SCCA autox. Street Prepared category. The rules do not allow cuttnig of sheet metal beacuse of weight reduction. I dunno, I'm almost to the point of saying #$&* it, and doing it right, but it would be protest fodder the moment I go to a National event. No, it's not a performance advantage, if anything, it's a dissadvantage (weight), but the rules are the rules... -Josh2 |
