Hi Tac-M
Are your Bride's the Zeta 3 ? If not which one are they please ?
Have you compared them to the recaro pole position ? Which one is the larger ?
I tried the recaro's and they fit good but if possible i prefer to take the bride' s.
For your oil temp it will be higher at track than in the mountain, i was at the nurburgring and at spa in early may and for my 4 first lap at the nurb i saw oil temp at 125 ° C, at Spa it was 135 ° C and i couldn' t drive as much as i wanted because of falken road tires so i think that an oil cooler is a must have for HR owners at track
Congrats for your car man, do you start a thread with all your mods ? I tried to search but didn' t find one .

FYI I was at the track last saturday and my water and oil temp topped at 103 C. (water) and 111 (oil) we use the same pickup point, but I have a setrab 619 oil cooler.
ambient temperature was about 95/100 F. the track wasn't too fast, so less cooling than usual and one lap of cool down (3 minutes) was plenty to put back oil and water in the 85C range.

yes you do. 150 is too much.
I did it custom, but you can get the setup that GTM is offering.. is pretty much the one that i build... BEFORE they started selling exactly the same setup.
the only difference is that I'm using aeroquip socketless fittings and hose and they are using russell.
same thermostatic plate, same cooler, same braket.
one important thing.
the oil in and out goes on the upper side of the cooler... otherwise you'll keep air inside instead of oil.
