Sprint Oil Cooler Location

#1 Post by Mad Mart »

As per the title, I can't decide where to locate the oil cooler on the Tolly Sprint I'm building. I know I have fitted a couple of these in the past but the one on my Track Sprint took a fair bit of fettling to fit it behind the number plate and I'm not sure the location in front of the rad is the most efficient place. I was wondering if any of you have pics of your installations. It's a 13 row btw.

Similar to Jeroen, I chopped the inner front panel & added some cooling holes in the front valance.

Yes, that's what I did with PKN. I was hoping to get away with not cutting any metal...oh! well.
