Got proper brakes installed.

They look really nice. The red matches your car really well. Are they oem rotors?

Installed the Jackson racing dual cooler. I gave a it a polish. It was lightly used.

I can start putting this thing back together now. I'd like to button up the engine bay and focus on the inside for a while.I have some under dash work to do and interior. First things first, I'm dropping the seat mounts.

This adds 7lbs without fluids.I'll have to work that off.

I did nothing. However I did notice a woman taking photos of it in the supermarket carpark just now. That’s up there with the kid in the McDonalds drive through who commented that my car was “noice”, and the two teenage boys who made weird hand gestures as I drove past that (upon googling) appear to be a surfer sign of appreciation.

It’s rather nice to own a car that’s seen by others as so desirable.

Did you get her number?

No, I didn’t. She looked pretty sheepish when we walked up to it and got in.

This is a liquid-to-liquid oil cooler but at the same time it is an air-to-liquid cooler as well. Is there a thermostat for oil circulation as well? If not, I am thinking that it might be cooling the oil too much when the the air temperature is too low.

You make a good point but adding a thermostat would be easy. There are plenty of aftermarket options

Thermostat would be a solution to under cooling oil. But in that case, two thermostats (coolant and oil) will eliminate the temperature regulation ability since liquid to liquid heat exchange will also stop heating up the oil when engine is warming up. I have been thinking about this dual radiator but it looks like a complicated solution that I couldn't fully understand yet.

It seems to me the ideal solution would be having a separate heat exchanger between oil and coolant inside the engine loop, just like the OEM oil cooler but larger.

Yes, this one, there are multiple threads about this.

Oh, that stock one. Yeah, that one isn't going to cool anywhere near the dual radiator will

Agreed! I have the OEM oil cooler/regulator installed and looking for something more powerful. Dual radiator seems to work differently and I not sure about its cold weather benefits.

There is this one for Mustang Boss for example.
