    Did you ever consider an oil cooler?

    If it's not broke don't fix it. I can't imagine your oil is overheating Jason.

    I actually did consider it. If I had more time, I probably would have installed one. It's one of those things that requires some trial and error and some fab work to get right. The best method is to use a name brand sandwich plate that as a built-in thermostat to bypass the cooler before the oil is warmed up. You also have to ensure the oil cooler actually receives some sort of air flow or it's rather useless.

    Yeah, it's definitely not a necessity, but it's good insurance when done right, and you know how I feel about doing that little extra something. It sure would make me feel better when I do those long 5th gear runs.

    I might have missed it somewhere, but what radiator are you using?

    Just ordered a traction bar/torque mount setup for the Accord. Hopefully with some sticky tires, it will hook up a little better than it does now. :party33:
