warning: fitting one of these without connecting it to anything is surely solid gold BARRY. Isn't it?

[mikelmr]

it is slightly more sensible than actually having oil running through it ! ... one stone and its bye bye engine !

I'll vote for that

i was thinkin the same, but pointless, unless it does summit

[tonycocacola]

i can see where your coming from, fake or not, but I'm my opinion looks gash on anything but a fully bozu'd skyline or similar.

[slater]

Dosent work on those cars.

For a start they arnt the right kind of cooler. You don't see that type on J-tin very often iirc (if at all!)

they aint big enough

wheres the boso arches wings and exhausts?

and its a blatent copy of somthing done on J cars, get some imagination!

I thought of doing it on my new fiat but it just wont look right. imo

[SeventyNine]

aaaarghhhh

i thought youd realise that it was cool ;D ;D

its not barry, find me a nova with an oil cooler mounted on the front.

arrggggggh i hate you all ;D ;D

[Stu]

Oops, did I mount mine incorrectly out of sight? It's also connected up and functional, poo!

[PhoenixC]

As its not needed as an oil cooler why not buy a couple of cheap stainless cheese graters lash them together with some silver gaffer tape and a couple of lengths of garden hose from B&Q (you could try the poundshop but theres isnt braided and it would look gash).
Bosh it on and job done.

If anyone says it looks w*nk, tell them you are being ironic

It's been done on euro-dubs for YEARS mate, at least as long as I've been into them, which is 4 years or so ;D

Sorry, like

[SeventyNine]

yeah, i know, most of the pics ive posted are from old dubs, but there seems to be an influx of them recently

[charlie]

I fully support the idea and think it's a great plan. I reckon you should be looking at industrial equipment. Can you spend some time round the back of a local refrigeration products factory?

Those ones in the pics above are a bit small. You want something much more industrial!

is a bit of a sad idea, whether there is oil running through it or not.

but some e30's had them. go look in a scrapyard:)

[HoTWire]

I think you'd need to do the whole looks,.. bold paint, negative camber, arch flares, muffler less exhaust etc. etc. for it to work. On it's own it's a bit like fitting a wing to a car, but no other bits of body kit to make the look complete.

Thirded.

[TwincamGTi]

I like it!

Go for it!

In fact...

...I too have thought about it and was going to raise a thread like this as I have considered such an accessory for my J-Tin cars (a sort of fun thing that I could mount for when I attend shows (along with the Boso exhaust pipes ) etc., but then remove for everyday driving) but could not find an oil cooler large enough from the car performance accessory places and all the other suppliers.

Suggestions as to who makes a decent sized oil cooler?

(Did wounder if a range rover one is large enough)

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Maybe it would be cool if it had an obvious, golf-ball sized hole right through it?
