Bobbo, what you talking about?!

Well got the cores back from Mac's and I got two very small pin hole leaks within the tube/fin section. Will have to remove part of the end tank on each cooler to fix. Will fix it tonight.
One of the common problems with bar and plate cores like this, pre-inspection is critical. I missed them, that's why you always pressure test these babies when you make custom units like this.

Well, ran into a snag with one of the oil cooler's. Was chasing a leak that wouldn't go away so I made another unit. This one doesn't leak. 
Anyways should be starting this biatch up tonight.
Support tab for the sleek light lens cover. These suckers move at high speed, hence I added this little feature.

Probably not, if anything I might do the Audi track day at PIR Sunday as an instructor. That way I can do some test runs to verify suspension setup and tune, before I leave for the time attack.
