Thumbs up ARC Oil Cooler just ordered!

It has been established that for the price you can probably get 2 to possibly even 3 bad *** oil cooler setups for the price of this unit, but I just took the plunge and went for it to be different. The car is going to SEMA and since I am NA, it doesn't hurt to have some bling to cover up the gaping hole that the JP Type-N bumper creates

The item is special order and is being airshipped so it will be here in about 2 to 2.5 weeks. I will put up pics once I have it installed. Until then here is a teaser pic:

Wow-that is crazy. For that $$$ tell me at least it circulates oil through only after the oil has hit a certian temp. Otherwise, would take a few minutes longer to warm up the car, but that wont really matter where you live.

That's insane. I put together my own Earl's 16 row oil cooler, Russel AN fittings, braided nylon hose, and a Mocal thermostat sandwhich plate for $360. That's just crazy. Because it says ARC on it doesn't mean it will cool one damn bit better.

I just hope it doesn't unnecessarily add like 6 quarts of capacity, your oil will never get to operating temp! LOL!
