how much will an oil cooler help me?
im running a stock 1.7 now, but id really like to bore it out

how big of an oil cooler should i get?

will it still work if i have an oil bath air filter?

i have an a/c condenser in the front trunk does anyone have any idea if i could just drop that thing and bolt in an oil cooler?

cuz then i think i could still have a full spare and i know thats alot of my front end crash protection

if i could do that could i run the oil lines through the same lines fro the ac? if not can i run 'em under the car instead of through the cabin?
id really like the car to appear stock but not be (i.e. bir bore, possibly brakes, better shocks and id like an oil cooler)

in phoenix 105 in the summer is a cool day!

i have driven it when its 12o out. i havnt noticed any differences excapt the vinal creates this incredible burning feeling even through clothes and my idle seems to drop.

are the stock brakes good?
my dad has 911 brakes on his and complains the mine are better. he feels that his have too much play and are hard to get used to. so is there something i could change to besides 911 or is there some way to make em feel like the stock 914?

for shocks id like to get Koni Yellows what would ya'll suggest for a swaybar?

tires are now michelin pilot xgt v4's 7'' fron and back
mounted on 16'' gas burners

ill have to check those brakes when i fix the clutch on friday
ill check that fan too
thank you for that "with the engine OFF" comment
i do enjoy haveing fingers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
