Speaking of cooling, I just stopped by the local Mazda dealer to inquire about getting a *new* oil cooler for an '88 RX-7. They quoted me $691, and said the supply is limited - and dwindling. For another $9 USD, I could have bought a whole car three different times in the last year. (Last weekend, there was a '90 for $1000. I can see why Rusty wanted to try and alternative part. Anyone have a good used one, surplus to their needs? Or know where there is one to be had? Dale R. COZY MkIV-R13B #1254
