no, sorry, i meant 9/16/12, so a few weeks ...

it appears greddy pictured in a photo of their brz setup a spacer that goes below the sandwich and drops into the cup for the oil filter on our cars

sure one could simply dremel off the sides of the cup, but I really dont wanna go cutting up this new car

I didnt see the spacer for sale on their website, nor do I see any vendor selling any oil cooler for a frs/brz at any cost, thats orderable today

In Phoenix at 115degrees you need an oil cooler on or off the track if you drive like me...

I completely forgot about situations like that. 115 is nuts.. Glad we don't see that here!

Jeff actually has a oil cooler setup on his car right now! Look for more info coming soon. He's still deciding on what kind of kit we will be selling.

That is good to hear. How about a transmission cooler for the autos?

We probably won't be making a transmission cooler, because of demand, but some of our oil cooler parts could probably be used for a kit for that.

Perrin- any idea at all on price yet? Not sure why everyone else is charging 7 times what the product is worth.... but I'm confident you'll come through for us.
