Very simple answer to this is no, only the type RA/Spec C's and cars based upon these come with an engine oil cooler standard (its a little radiator on the front drivers side)

I'm not sure the UK Bugeye STi would need an oil cooler even with a PPP 
I run a MY02 bugeye with 350 plus BHP and no oil cooler.......
I bought one from JW racing but it is still in the garage as oil temps on the road don't go above 95 degrees C. Might be diffrerent in V Hot climates or on the track though.

I bought the oilcooler last year and can't remember how much it cost...a quick google would probably throw up a few suppliers with prices.
I'm going to show it to Alyn at AS performance in a couple of weeks time and ask him if it's worth it. I have read the instructions and it seems to get in the way of the bonnet catch which needs some "hacksaw" work

I had a look at the oil cooler in the garage tonight (still in the box) while putting out the rubbish.......looks like a well made bit of kit, and so it should be for £260 plus del plus VAT
I get my oil changed every 6mts so that would probably buy 5 years of oil !! the other problem is that during an oil change I guess the cooler would have to be dismantled to drain the (old) oil from it ?
I'll see what Alyn thinks
