The only problem I am seeing with my car is the oil cooler. From what I have read, it is not allowed in the "street" class. I do take my car out to road courses, and was seeing close to 280* oil temps, so the oil cooler is very necessary for the car.

Any suggestions on the best route to do both autox and road course? It would be quite a pain to remove/re-install the oil cooler all the time. With no other options, could I leave everything installed and just disconnect/plug the lines at the oil sandwich plate?
You would be classed in CS this year, and starting January 2017 you will be DS as long as you have OEM (non-TRD) springs and at least one OEM (non-TRD) sway bar (let me know if that didn't make sense).

For local events, pretty much nobody will give you grief over an oil cooler unless you're beating a lot of people.
