I'll sell you the smashed up one for $1500.

 

Hmm........pics of it?

 

I'm kidding! Its not for sale. You wouldnt want it anyway.

 

I'd still like my Tundra done.

 

Hey, hey...I got the first dibs.

 

LOL oh...I starting to give less of a crap about the looks of my car so if it wasn't that bad I might have considered it

There was one guy on craigslist that had a Silverstone one for $2k a few months back..shoulda jumped on it. It's just a big upfront cost for what seems like small benefit. There are other things that probably should take priority, like track time...

 

I gave that weekend to another s2ker that had asked me when I was starting back in December. He seemed like he was in the biggest rush. Plus he's a repeat customer.

Otherwise you guys can duke it out to see who's first. Either of you available for weekend of 3/31? Best case is you dropping the vehicle of Wednesday or Thursday evening. You could also drop it with me at work in leesburg and I can drive it home. That gives me Thursday evening to start it, allday Friday to polish, and Saturday for finishing work with Saturday afternoon completion.

The reason I ordered the AN fittings and hose from Summit is i don't know exactly which fittings (angles) i will end up using so i intentionally ordered extra fittings. Summit has a much better return policy than racerpartswholesale but doesnt sell Mocal or Setrab parts. Also, you MIGHT be able to get away with 10' of hose, but i got 15' to be safe. Summit sells 15', RPW only sells 10' and 20'.

You can go cheaper if you are ok with the typical blue and red AN fitting colors, but i wanted black.

I spend a ton of time looking at whether or not to get 10 or 12AN fittings. I cannot recall exactly what swayed me to 10AN, but i am really glad I did as they are quite large. 12AN fittings must be huge. The area around the sandwich plate is pretty tight, and the fittings in the sandwichplate are 1/2 inch. 10AN is a tiny bit bigger than 1/2 inch.

I went with a slightly more expensive Setrab vs Mocal oil cooler because i like black. The setrab is black the mocal is silver. Also, all the cool kids use setrab (nascar, grand am, F1) and for what its worth (very little) i read about mocal coolers splitting apart online.

As far as where i am mounting it, i am going to try and mount it in front of the radiator in front of the AC fan. If this doesnt work, i will just mount it in the center. Make sure to put some rubber in the mounting as the vibrations apparently kill oil coolers. I bought one of the factory mounts, but i really don't see how it will be usable. I really just bought it in case i needed it. Rather have the part and not use it than need it and not have it.

The sandwich plate that i bought has the integrated 180 degree thermostat. After buying it i read that its better to get a 200 degree one, which can be special ordered from Mocal (integrated into sandwich plate) or bought as a remote (plumbed in) thermostat. I'm just keeping what i got as this car is only driven on track. The oil should get hot enough.

Hope this helps.

 

^^Great info.

 

Finally, I got enough energy to finish the roll bar install tonight. Just need to button it up tomorrow night and maybe install the soft top. She's coming along slowly but surely. Some pics below.

Thanks for this tip http://www.harborfre...16-001b2166becc, David. That drill bit saved me a ton of work because I don't have to remove the rollbar to adjust the hole. Just run it in the hole and Bam! Perfectly aligned bolt hole.
