Not really a group buy as such as they have said they wont discount for quantity. (I already tried). So does anyone know where I can get this same kit any cheaper? I've seen one fitted and its a nice set up, hoping I can get it somewhere else cheaper!!

not sure on where to go mate, but looks like a nice bit of kit, will be putting one of these in place of my intercooler when i get my front mount :)

Whats the advantage of one of these?(I know it cools the oil but why is that paricualrly 'good'?)

Well if you're really going for it, or towing (!) a caravan (!!) it keeps the oil cool to around 70, which means it stays in grade, which means it keeps the engine good for longer (and stops that nasty "**** I've cooked my oil" smell after a good B road trip). Also with this kit you can relocate the filter to somewhere much easier and less messy to change it.

I'd be very interested in an oil cooler group buy, but only if the kit is termostatted, the oil pressure drop is too great to have all the time even if the hoses are shortened. a 110c set stat would be lovely

These ones do have a thermostat facility. Unfortunately Ratsport wont do a discount. I've asked (with orders from another forum) - you try, maybe you are more persuasive. They did have some on ebay a while ago but the Buy It Now was only £5 less than their shop price. I'm hoping someone might know of an alternative source of exactly the same product,

Might be worth contacting Zen Performance - Performance upgrade solutions for Japanese cars (http://www.zenperformance.co.uk)

I,m sure i saw an oil cooler setup there during a recent visit...:)

this type of thing, no thermostate though !

Thanks for that Tmo. I reckon its the same kit. But by the time I've paid delivery (not to mention import duty which some people have been stung with according to his feedback) its the same as Ratsport.....Guess I'll just bite the bullet! Cheers

Porkypanther, would it not be worth your while trying Apex Performance Parts Ltd (http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/catalog/default.php), the guy posts on here and goes by the name of 'bren@apex' he has been very good with the FMIC gb and seems willing to help if he can.

HTH

OK
