Good luck getting a Weapon R oil catch tank installed with all of that in the way.

True.
Unless you track race your car there is no need to upgrade. Even TT on the street should be ok.

It's an old picture, things have changed somewhat since then. I do need to update it!
Anyways, though, I wasn't planning on putting a Weapon R catch can in there; I already have a Greddy catch can, nestled away below the JWT filter. I was just commenting on the AMS radiator, and how the fitment isn't quite perfect, to put it mildly.
And, yeah, I track my G, so the more cooling mods, the better: I have the AMS radiator, a Stillen oil cooler (with an actual thermostat sandwich instead of the freeflow Stillen provides), an APS oil pan, a secondary 5" fan on the oil cooler, and dual SPAL 12" fans (3500 cfm
), (one wired to the stock fan controller, and one controlled by a SPAL controller). Oh, and a UR air diverter panel, but I doubt that does much. I use 30/70 rad fluid/water, with water wetter, and my oil temps still run up to about 240 after a 25 minute track session in the summer.Oh well, enough thread hijack.
PS: The engine cover is long gone, that damn thing just holds heat in there!

Could you please PM me what thermostat sandwich plate you have? I was just looking for one.
