Nah, he's got a beehive fitted. They look like they are to cool an auto box.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

Thats what I thought, so yes it has got an oil cooler built in then?
I wonder how much cooling effect you would get from a box cooler built into a rad, I dont suppose it would be a great amount.

ebay- $168.00 usd shipped, 3 core series 3 size. though I had to trim the mount on the right side like a 1/4" to fit. I really didnt want to have the tranny cooler in the bottom, but once the shroud is on you wont see them. beehive is next to go!

Not if he can see them through the top of the rad where the water goes in.
