Perrin Oil Cooler Issues - Page 9 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Received the new core. I didn't have the old one so i'm not sure if it's any different cosmetic wise other then the color. I started installing it tonight but I ran into a few installation issues that i'll PM them about.

FYI, if anyone was wondering, it will NOT fit with the TRD intake. I only read it was assumed not to fit and I can confirm that.

I installed mine last night. Word to the wise if your fittings seem backwards and cause kinks on the line, apply a ton of force to them and you can rotate the line from the fitting ever so gradually. My first time removing the front bumper so a little pain. The packaging/hardware was all great but the instructions could have gone the extra mile and been more explicit and had more visual detail (paper isn't expensive). You can find more details in my build thread.

New version uses a Setrab cooler rather than mocal, no issues with mine (new version).
