I was yappin' about getting a custom oil cooler and accusump a month or two ago, and finally had a minute to upload some pics. My fav new mod is the rear-view mirror, followed by the oil cooling and accusump.

pics of the new stuff:

Setup looks killer! Is it for road-racing or drifting?

Who did the cage?

I use it for occasional street driving and road racing.

Hehe ya i should just take those speakers out lol. The headlight is actually replaceable and I keep all of the wires tucked away. Right now I run both headlights, but the night before and on track days I put that ram intake on.

Yep the accusump i have is has about 3 qt. of oil in it. it has the 35-40 psi epc valve so if my pressure drops below 40, it will turn on and start pressurizing the system. hoping not to need it other than pre-oiling for starts.

spun bearings, burnt and peeled from temp bearings, pump cavitation, pump failure... get oil temp and oil pressure gauges at minimum. if you road race at all with your rb you are gonna want to upgrade even further. run good oil, too.

thanks for all of the compliments!!! i often just go sit and the garage and

looks great man, only thing i'd say add is clamps around the oil cooler hoses...not the lame screw type but the awesome clip type that nevar blow off.
