Same cooler and location as Yellow73 (and same year/model, and original color by chance), with the same results. Zero cooling issues. I don't think I have ever even broken 215F. Setrab's are expensive coolers, but damn they work well.

I've mounted the oil cooler up front. Modified my mounts and flipped it around so the fittings are facing forwards. It was looking like the fittings would hit the steering box and beam. Waiting for the PARKER Hydraulics salesman to figure out how to get the M22 oil cooler, to a -8AN. We'll see what he can come up with.

If i don't like were this is heading, i may go for a Setrab as Nigel and Zen have setup. I'll need some pics, if going that route. The Setrab may save me money, as plumbing the cooler up front with sexy AN stainless fittings/hose is not cheap.

They make an M22 to -8AN fitting with "O" ring seals. I have bought them from Hyd. Supply here. They can be had in St. or 90 deg.
I like the Setrab single fan pack due to the fact that it is very small, easy to fit under the package tray and cools as well as coolers 3 times the size. We have used them on many customer cars.
When My car hits the street again it will have the 3rd gen RX7 cooler up front because already I have one, it had a built in thermostat and it is huge. But i don't think it will cool much better than the Setrab single with a fan.
