Even if I had the oil cooler in hand, no way I would get it done before the Hyperdrive. I am finding that while it is great I am saving alot of labor costs by doing stuff myself, it is very slow going getting stuff done. Free time to **** around with the car comes in way smaller chunks than I would like, plus I am no mechanic so I am extra anal slow about what I do get done.
Alright, so if you absolutely cannot get an oil cooler before your hyperdrive, then I recommend staying in higher gears as much as possible. Focus on entering and exiting corners, than blasting out in a low gear. The higher you rev it, the faster it'll heat up (obviously). Most people can stay in 3rd for an entire track...in your case, stick to 4th and 5th.
