FINALLY got all of the parts from LG to finish out the oil cooler. Took them a couple months but I got it. I got the thing installed after a little machining and parts chasing.

Question is, how did you route your cooler lines to keep things away from the pulley, alternator and steering knuckle. Its pretty cramped in there but so far the best way I found was through the hard lines for the power steering, just under the alternator.

Also, how did you figure out how much more oil to add to the motor now with the added capacity?

I'll admit I did nag the piss out of both Lou and Louis. I was getting dangerously close to race day and didnt have a cooler, desperate times called for desperate measures. I felt like an ass calling every day bugging the piss out of them and taking up thier time. It was enough that I am suprised that they didnt have a call block on my phone number.

I have the highest respect for LG Motorsports and all that they have achieved. If told to do something to my car by them, I would do it in a second. They are no-doubt top notch and they are always the team I root for on raceday. But, if they are going to remain a parts supplier for the after market, they must be willing to offer proper service. Or I guess, us as customers, if we are going to buy from them, we must be willing to deal with some possible inconvenience. I don't want this to be any kind of slam on them, so please don't take this to serious. I just keep thinking back to that K-mbr they were going to make for the last year and a half. I am still bummed that I can't get this part.

The main point of my response is that we should never have to feel like we are bothering the supplier. Unfortunately I sometimes do this too. The suppliers need to remember, we are the customer.
