We also upgraded the cooling system to the full 2.1L set up plus a 16 plate oil cooler system that was installed back in 2018. Also the transmission was rebuilt including changing the final drive from 4.09 to 3.73. With the original oil cooler replaced with the oil cooler adapter we were also able to upgrade the oil filter to the Canton Racing 25-464 oil filter.
