Even without ducts, we have had customers test this setup at the track and could not get the car to overheat.

Any pictures of the coolers with the 93-95 bumper mounted?

Thanks

I really hope you guys have another GB in the spring/summer.
I would love to get a 25row kit.
This is literally the last thing I need to do to get the car working the way it should. The stock, single oil cooler, has seen better days. I've tried straightening some of the fins, but the previous owner must've lived in the sticks or something. Lots of insects have died a horrible death.

Here's hoping for more kits!

if you look the GB was only for 75$ and for the hassle of the wait of a GB IMHO its worth just paying it if they have a kit ready to go now... just my 2c

speaking of which do you guys have any kits ready to go now? or what would the wait time be for the ordered specifics?

My understanding is the $75 discount still applies, and yes they do have kits in stock.

I am placing my order on Monday.

After you order it will take about two weeks to get to you. We do have all of our hardware in stock; but we order the coolers and lines for each sale since they would be very expensive to keep in stock.

That's the thing. I don't have 1G kicking around right now. I would've signed up for the GB right away if I had that type of money. Alas, I'll have to wait till spring to get that done. There are too many other things that have to be taken care of first.

It's winter time right now anyways. FD won't see the road till at least April or so.

PM sent.

Neo, we have plenty of brackets now and we should be running another GB in the next month or two; but unfortunately we will have to raise the prices since the cost of raw materials has gone up. Don't worry though, it's not by much



This group buy is closed!

We are still offering the coolers at regular price. We will be running another group buy in the next month or two

I received my oil cooler kit and it is simply amazing! The light wight aluminum brackets really impressive! and was a nice surprise! The nylon lines are also feather light and look like they will do an amazing job holding oil pressure. The coolers are light years ahead of the stock skimpy core. Even the Japanese spec upgrades I noticed, don't even use this type of core which will do wonders for removing heat and preventing overheating situations. I would say if you have an RX7. You really have to get one of these!

After a short uphill low speed canyon driving my stock cooler was not removing the heat. Even with an upgraded radiator Im going to do a few more changes like 185 thermostat and a early start fan switch. I have an AST as well so this should complete my cooling system. I don't think I can ever run hot once I install this cooler kit along with everything else!

Glad to hear you like the kit! While the brackets are light they are still quite strong (we use 6061 for the brackets). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions during your installation. The link to the instructions are in this thread a couple pages back, and we will be hosting them on our website as well shortly. Thanks again!

Any idea when the GB will be going on? I'm in the market for this right now!

Looking to get the 93+, Track, Nylon Lines.

Also will this clear my setup? I've got a Koyo Radiator w/HKS V-Mount

Jeeez you guys are demanding! What if we offer the option for a deposit to hold your spot? Would that work? I'm trying to make everyone happy.
