Yup .. horrible traction. Dont know if you mentioned what kind of grip your sitting on but i have to get rid of the Nitto's ASAP! Always seems like 1 tire needs to be replaced way before another never really get the chance. Need to bump the tire size up as well.

I'm running Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's right now. 255/35/19 in the front and 285/35/19 in the rear. They hold up fine N/A and there's not much of a traction issue at 7psi. However, 10psi is a different story and traction is a problem. If I stick with the 19's then I'll stick with the same tire sizes as well. It's just a matter of which tire to get. A lot of people will bash Kuhmo's for some reason but I've never had a problem with them until 10psi lol.

I had a chance to get a closer look yesterday. The bolts are def threaded and running through the IC. So yea they are used to mount to the IC. I was thinking a hole was drilled through the IC but it looks like they were skinny enough to fit through. I won't know for sure until I get a chance to take the bumper cover off.

Chris what you're looking at are the plastic clips supplied with most oil cooler kits. I'm not sure if they came in your oil cooler kit. Or if Frank supplied them. You may want to just shoot him an email and ask him.They look similar to the earl's zip-tie mounts. Here is a pic. Sorry it's so small. I also noticed in your pic There are two braces holding the cooler up. They look pretty sturdy to me between that and those zip ties mounts I doubt vibration will be an issue. Come down to the customer appreciation on the 24th and have Frank check it out.

No updates, no vids, and it's running great as far as I can tell . It has been sitting in my garage for about 2 weeks. I'm waiting until the weather is a little better before I take it back out. I need to replace the brake pads anyway so hopefully I can get that done this weekend or next. How's everything with your car? Completed yet?
