Nope, just buy an EVO wing and have Griffin (or similar company) make up an
oil cooler to whatever dimensions you want.

That was several years ago.  We talked to Buffum about the car a few months
ago (actually considering leasing it, but insurance was a problem), and
he'll take $35K for it as it sits and $25K for all the spares which includes
another engine, complete drivetrain, trannies, tons of miscellaneous junk,
etc.  Registering it (let alone insurance) could be a PITA though, since
it's a real '93 S2 and always had manufacturer's plates.

cya!
