Luckily, I remembered the trick to turn on the heater on max and I was able to quickly drop it down to 240F and keep it there for the duration of my runs.

Question:
Is there a setrab core that will bolt on directly to the existing oil cooler plumbing? I have the factory oil cooler and I am thinking of upgrading it and improving the air glow through the cooler.

I am also contemplating on fabricating a small water mister that feeds from the headlamp washer lines to spray wiper fluid on the outside of the oil cooler on demand. Any comments on this?

Thanks in advance.
Do you track as well or just AutoX? I wouldn't worry at all for a 1 minute lap. 20-30 minutes is another story.
