I dont take more pics cause the night arrive and i have more work to do as you can see in the last pic (is not done yet)... after the last pic i take some time to protect the oil lines with a spare rubber line that comes with the kit that is for the power steering cooler in case that you follow the instructions from Stillen and install your oil cooler on the passenger side... Anyway i use that rubber line to protect the oil cooler lines in places that they can rub with metal... and after that i fits the lines with zip ties and clean everything after install the front bumper

Sunday morning...
I wake up at 7am... was a beautiful sunny morning and is time to clean the Z to test the oil cooler

Z bath... done!!

Then the drive... After a trip from my home to another town... maybe takes 15-25 min... here are a pic of the oil temps...

image (6) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

They hold very very good... usually in that trip i can see oil temps around 200-210 and they hold in the 180-185 mark.... outside temps at that moment are around 85-90 degree... im very happy with the results... then uphill trip to my town again i give the real test drive the Z like if i stole it hahaha!! the oil temps up too 200 i can said now... this is one of my favorites mods for now by far.... I check the car everyday to see if the car have a oil leak and thanks to God everything looks clean... no leaks... that is something that makes me very very happy cause that mean that i did a good job installing the oil cooler by my self This Saturday im going to remove the shroud and check that everything looks clean behind that too

Well this is all for now... in a few weeks im going to make something but this time is for the exterior

Hotrodz

Great job bro...this is one of my favorite build treads!
