Anyone have info on the BRZ OEM external oil cooler (Japan only)?

Subaru sells a race-prepped version of the BRZ, with cage/harness/specialty floor mats/tow hooks/brake ducts, and also comes standard with an external oil cooler.

Has anyone done any research into this particular oil cooler config? I am not sure if this is an actual OEM part or if it's custom assembled via aftermarket parts. The silver cooler core and endtanks look very much like a Blitz or similar aftermarket core.

That cage is a disaster, what is that going to be legal for?

It's same as TRD 86 Racing ver or should I say they have some parts from HKS. Ah... Let me see, my friend went to Toyota Automotive Showroom & took several of 86 racing parts (which is same damn thing as BRZ RA Racing) & wrote a blog.

Found it. Sorry Japanese: http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/smar...blog/30636158/

Actually that 6 point roll age will pass most of circuit in japan. US standard vs JP standard is different, so keep that in mind.

I don't think people understand what race-prepped really means.

Nevermind that, how about the OEM (TMG) CS-V3 oil cooler? It appears to be a Setrab unit, which I'd rather have. It even has a part number unlike the unknown RA/RC one.

that looks similar to the Jackson Racing oil cooler, minus the bottom supports on the cooler itself.
