I bid on a complete 914 oil cooler setup on ebay last week...it was an RSR type air dam w/ cooler, lines, filter adapter, etc...went for like $305 and my max bid was $300. Doh! Did someone here get it?
Anyway, here is my real problem: I need an external oil cooler. My temps at the track have been 230+, and that was on a 75 degree day. What I have been thinking about is using the GT replica bumper and front valence which both have cutouts for a cooler (I like the look). My question is: Where does the hot air vent? Did the "real" GT's have cutouts behind the bumper to vent the air? Is anyone running a setup like this or something similar? Any inputs/pictures would be appreciated. Thanks BH |

I have been contemplating puting in a oil cooler, the car wont see the track till im 18, actually it might if my dad takes it, but I think he'll have more fun with his track 951 (hehe, loved learning to drive in that thing). Personally I dont want to keep all the trunk space as possible and keep my car looking as a daily driver, cops bad. Yes I need to use the front license plate as well, What can i do? I would love to put the cooler up front, I dont have a cooler yet aside from like 2 stock one's so if its possible i was thinking of making an 'opening' on the side of the flares, and having air for the intake, and air for the oil cooler, possibly even useing a 930 slant type scoop, too rice? too 930 ish? If you guys think its a good idea, ill make a drawing or photoshop a pic of one and show you guys what Im thinking.. Thanks!!!
