RX8 oil coolers for the FD?

Has anyone tried to fit the RX8 dual oil coolers on the FD? Just a thought

Makes no sense. Unless you're picking them off a junk yard or Ebay for cheap...
But brand name oil coolers such as Setrab or Earl's are cheaper than paying for OEM ones.

And ultimately, you will probably end up fabricating a line or two and a bracket to make it fit. Might as well get one like Setrab.

I have access to some. My father-in-law has an 04 GT and I was looking at his...look to be the size of the FD's. My purpose is for more oil cooling of course, and if I could get my hands on a set for cheap, it would seem to be a good option in leu of more expensive aftermarket setups...I will do some investigating.
