Perrin oil cooler <-- required for track duty?

Changing the tires made the biggest difference. The t2 are amazing in that I am able to dial in the setup. I have gone to 3 autocross with those coilovers and makes the car much more predictable and lot more planted. Sometimes it's frustrating when u do get the setup wrong however, it's very easy to get this car to oversteer if u set the rear rebound stiffer.
I really recommended getting the subframe bushing and the transmission bushing. The transmission bushing has a lot more Nvh however. The bushing pretty much eliminate any wheel hop when doing hard launches, which I really like.
The oil cooler, let's just say that last time I autocrossed I hit 119°c. With the oil cooler the highest I have reached was 91°c with pushing the car hard. The main advantage is that the oil temps will go back down with an oil cooler, without it the oil temps never recover after a run at autocross.
