hmm, You should've gone with a Clear Bra, and then Zaino it to be clear as hell....once you you Zaino, you wont be able to see the bra.

One very cool thing about that bra is it protects the oil coolers - mine are already shot to hell.

That was another big factor. They indicate that the mesh lets maximum air through and is tough as nails.

Wow - you guys got OIL coolers up front? I guess I got screwed...

rockitman

I think he meant the radiators(water coolers) which in effect cool the oil, albeit not directly...

MetalSolid

I always thought the device in front was a oil cooler...

rockitman

I know the ones on each side are radiators. Perhaps the center one is a dedicated oil cooler???

rockitman

The detailed brocuhure idicates that there is a separate transmission oil cooler. I wonder if that is what the center cooling unit is for???

MetalSolid

Isn't the A/C condensor on the driver's side, ahead of front wheel?

rockitman

That's how it looks in the schematic.

bob_dallas

one's in front are A/C condensers and the center is another radiator for extra water cooling capacity

cool picture though, where'd that come from?

rockitman

Okay Bob, now I am confused...The 3 radiators in the front are for water cooling...Correct??? Where is the tranny oil cooler located???

bob_dallas

just to be clear - there are three radiators for the water cooling system - one on each side ahead of the front wheels and one in the center. The other units on the sides are a/c condensers. I'm not sure where the transmission oil cooler is - now I'm going to have to go look around. Oh, and FWIW - the brochure is wrong - it has a schematic (page 26-27) that appears to be pointing to the center radiator and calling it an a/c condenser unit but this is definitely wrong and you can even tell by the plumbing that it's in-line with the cooling system.

bob_dallas

my guess is that the transmission oil cooler is a simple loop-style cooler stashed up there somewhere because I haven't seen another radiator-type cooler anywhere. I could have easily missed it since I haven't changed the transmission fluid or anything like that yet

This was taken from the tech specs page regarding the tranny:

Transmission
Replaceable gear ratios for competition use
Steel baulk rings on third, fourth and fifth gear
Dedicated oil cooler and splash-oil lubrication
Limited-slip differential
