I’m seeing a lot of recommendations to start with an oil cooler. How serious are the overheating problems on track? Besides the oil cooler, would hood vents help?

- oil cooler
- wheels/tires
- coilovers
- camber plates / alignment
- brake pads, fluid, lines
- sway bars
Those items are pretty much the go to. The oil cooler will get you mixed responses on this forum. Personally, I’m a fan of them. The new gen 2 cars have one however apparently it’s just not that efficient. The hood vents are more about eliminating lift at the front.
