does anyone have a contact # for them because i want to buy their dual oil coolers and they don't respond to emails.
another question... does anybody have these on their fd and if so do you like them,and would you recomend them?

thanks,mike

 

everyone says they are overkill for the street but if you track your car I hear they are awesome, sorry I don't have the number btw

 

"CrispyRX7" has them (or at least had them). I think he's still using them.

 

Overkill unless you are running on the track regularly.

I will be posting my review of the Rotary Extreme dual 25-row oil coolers later this week. You might want to see my comments in addition to reading Chris Regan's (CrispyRX7) fine write-up on his site.

Crooked willow is out of business...

 

I might be doing a group buy on these in a few months. 10 to 15% off. Not if they are out of business though. If they are it is news to me. Can anybody confirm this?

 

I think Duane's been out of the game for some time.

But, all the CWC stuff was of excellent quality and design.

They ought to take down their web page, then.

I think both Duane and David have posted here in the not so distant past (I seem to remember a post in the big brake group buy from David), but it's been awhile since I've heard from either one.

 

Hmmm... that's wierd. I was able to communicate with Duane through emails about 2 months ago.

 

David and Duane were two separate entities. That is an important distinction. Duane (CWR/CWC) was, uh, not timely in delivering product. IC duct anyone?

 

Neither was David, but I thought they were the original "founders" of Crooked Willow. No?

 

Well I'm not sure, David I think had a separate business (Widefoot?) and just let Duane sell Widefoot products.

 

Duane responded to my emails re: the oil cooler setup about 2-3 months ago. If they are out of business, it's been since then.

 

how about a going out of business sale for some of their polished goodies? that IC was nice but the intake duct was about a year in delivery lol

 

i recently got some mounts from duane, it took awhile but they did arrive. i think he is still in business, but it is just a hobby for him i think.

 

I just recieved my crooked willow oil coolers maybe 2 and a half weeks ago. I still have not installed them cause I have some other issues with my car right now..

I have to disagree. I had the CWC Dual oil cooler kit and it was a shitty design to say the least. The oil cooler thermostat is connected to the engine block by a single 90 degree fitting supporting it's weight. This fitting has cracked on me TWICE causing my car to leak oil from it all over the track. Thank god I saw my oil light in time or else it could have led to an expensive rebuild. After having this happen to my two times, I decided to completely redo all the lines and fittings so now the car runs fine.

Also, if you ever want to get a FMIC, it won't work with this oil cooler kit because of the position the oil cooler thermostat is located.

 

hey rynberg i checked out the oil cooler on rotary extreme...very nice but a little more expensive than crooked willow's.( not complaining ) i'm looking to get one soon and if you have some good or bad info on the rotary extreme ones could you please tell me because i may purchase them before your review goes up.
if you want to wait to put up the whole review could you just pm me with some info.
thanks,mike

 

they are still in business i am in the process of purchasing the dual oil cooler kit right now about a month away from recieving the kit

 

Mike,

I'm going to post the review up tonight.

I have the stock r1 dual oil cooler set up for sale if any one is interested. PM me!
$800 complete with all brackets and oil lines. Just bolt on.

Pulled from a 93 R1 with 19k original miles. excellent condition.

 

No one's going to pay that much for the stock setup, even if it only has 19k miles on it. You'd be lucky to get $600.

 

I wouldn't pay $200.

Interesting,

I have a set of their coolers and helped install a set on a car here in Houston last month. If they went under it was just recently.

Their parts worked great but installing them was tricky at times.

 

twin coolers are never overkill on a car that runs hot.
