      After several weeks of research I have started installing my oil cooling system. This is really a must for Track day events running the car wide open for 20 minutes or so. Take a look and let me know what you think.

      Have you had it back to the track to see any difference in temps for the oil? Is there any real difference just running around town?

      Took it to the track a few weeks ago. Oil temps fluctuated between 180 and 200. Around town stays around 180.

That RPM and MPH held for about 5 to 7 seconds. At that point the Crank case pressure caused oil to come out the back of the oil pan seal and get on the headers. Saw a puff of smoke in the rear view and smelled burning oil. So at that point I decided to slow down and take her back to the trailer and head home. Not sure what was causing power to halt at 5500 rpm in 4th gear.

      Anyway, here is the video. Hope you enjoy.

      Did you ever figure out the stalled RPM issue?

      RPM issue was a broken rocker arm. Oil temps before I installed the cooler were high enough to burn the oil. I did not have a temperature gauge prior to installing the oil cooler but after returning from the track I did an oil change and the oil was burnt and smelled burnt. so I went ahead and installed the cooler and there are no problems now.

      Beautiful car and built. This is just how I want my car to perform when I am all done.

      I was wondering about your seats and seat belts. Are you running Corbeau GTS II seats? How do you like them on the track/street? Also what belts are those that have the shoulder harness?

      I just love the outcome of this car!

      Great work.

      Thank you BBSkyLark. Yes they are GTS belts arethe seat belts are from a company called Morris classic seat belts they are a direct bolt in and very easy to install. way more comfortable and easy to put on compared to the stock shoulder and stock lap belt.
