HI Adrian, thank you for your info, oil cooler, oil cooler!!! I try to find it but no one makes a bolt on one for DC5 expect the ARC which costs about A$2200, so how to get one ?? Can I use a EK9 Trust oil cooler for our car?? Thanks
Oil -coolers the cheap way ... go to any saab wrecker pick a turbo saab(newer the better), remove oil cooler, get backing plate for your oil filter, run the piping yourself and it will probably cost you $300 + backing plate
NB: When fitting a heavy duty clutch to a DC5R, the front and rear engine mounts should be attended to.
That is fill them with stickflex or use Mugen inserts / mounts.
This will avoid the inevitable knocking on the floor under the driver of the exhaust system.
Adrian - when u mention this, it made me think coz i do get this problem and i have not change my clutch yet. Although i have my aftermarket clutch coming next week. So is there anyway i can prevent it from happening in the future. What did u mean by using stickflex? what is that...?

My appologies...
I made a spelling error... It's actually Sikaflex.
The front & rear engine mounts need to be removed & filled with Sikaflex.
They need to cure overnight, preferably for 2 days.
This will harden them suficiently to prevent exessive engine movement issue.
Sikaflex is a polyeurethane product.
It is available at your local "Bunning's" store.

So this is something that happens on a stock DC5? Is it a reconmmendation to put the motor mount inserts in WHILE doing the clutch......? *confused*
Doesn't have to be done at clutch change time...
It can be done any time... (takes about an hour - re fitting Mugen inserts)
Though it isn't that common a problem on a stock DC5,
Only when there is a loose nut between the steering wheel & the seat.
