Oil cooler rebuild/reman?

Yesterday at the track (what a fun day at Laguna Seca!!), my car was running HOT with a capital H. My next few mods will definately be cooling ones, and I'm on the lookout for a dual oil cooler set-up from an R1 or R2. Now for the question/reason for this thread:
A fellow FD owner told me that he had his rebuilt (or remanned?) through a group buy or something like that on this forum a while ago.
He told me to search for "oil cooler rebuild" and I'd see what he's referring to.

Ater about 45 minutes of reading threads where either everyone tells everyone else to search (or worse), I still have no real answer.

Is there anyone that rebuilds our stock oil coolers? If you know of the person/company, I'd be grateful for any help finding them OR that mystery thread about their work. Maybe someone saved it?

Here's a pic from yesterday...Playing around with the Porsche Club.

Here's the only thread I can think of that's close to what you are referring to:

BTW, I'm jealous! Laguna is one of the few tracks I just have to drive on at some point in my life. Maybe when I have a working car, I can take a trek out to Cali for a weekend.

Hmmm. It seems that most of the links in that discussion are dead. I tried sending them an email.
If it all pans out, I'll update that other thread, because it's a worthy one (man, see how clean they looked? like new! ) and with summer on the way, I'll bet I'm not the only guy with keeping the FD cool in mind.

search for a recent thread from Goodfellas.

Also, the telephone is your friend. Very few car oriented places answer emails...
