With a maximum of 19 degC here in the uk then I don't think a road going 180 needs an uprated oil cooler, my mate said to me "I want an oil cooler to cool my oil so it doesn't get thin , I don't like running my engine on thin oil" :-/ now I may be wrong but I'm sure the oil recommended for use in a specific engine is recommended so that it's running at the correct velocity at the running temperature of that specific engine to ensure all parts are lubricated efficiently, so unless your tracking the car and hitting high oil temp figures you don't need an uprated oil cooler, am I right???

little point to have it on a road car

and if he got the thermostat on the sandwish plate then the oil cooler probably won't do much work either; the mocal one has a 80 degree thermostat so you can do the maths

Hi,

Enjoyed reading your thread but could you help me with a few things as looking to also build a 206. How did you lower the radiator? are you still using a standard 206 one? (i think i read you are). Do you have some pics of mountings etc?
I am also looking to get a custom cage fitted and i notice tyou seem to have welded on additonal strenghtening to the top mounts. Was this part of the kit or custom? Did you just weld on top of the normal strut housing or cut and weld a new piece in?

Cheers

Nick
