    b&m oil and tranny cooler...

    http://sean2sean.dynamic-driving.com/transgo/done.jpg

    spent the entire sat installing it... and i seriously do not recommend the teflon tape thats included.... do urself a favor and get urself some hi temp paste... it will pay off in the long run...

    after installing the kit with teflon tape... it started leaking... i had to take everything apart on sunday... and redo it... my car is still on jacks rite now... waiting for the paste to dry up....

    i got the...

    http://www.permatex.com/products/prodidx.asp?automotive=yes&f_call=get_item&item_no=59214

    im just waiting to dry.. then i can hook everything up and get my car runnin again...

    but 1st impression of the oil cooler... works very well.. i never see anything higher then 195 now... i use to see 210 or so...

    tranny cooler... only 1/4th of it heats up... the rest stays cool... compared to my 100 dollar hyden cooler that i got from mike staffored... that thing... 100 percent of it heats up...

    so good investment if u plan to drive ur car hard...

    worth every penny... lol...

    hm... i hope it goes well... i tried calling the company... and they told me that within 4 hrs... it will be able to withstand 4k psi... and by 24 hrs... it will be about 80% to its total curing state... i already left my car out in the cold for more then 24 hrs... so it should be good...

    i took it for a test drive a few min. ago... and so far... its ok... *crosses fingers* only oil im getting is the oil that sprayed all over me yesterday...

    but this thing have a weird smell... and it will never solidify... so the tech told me... it is not very userfriendly... its kinda like... peanut butter... lol...
