You meant oil heater?

Idk what it is, but doesn't make sense at all lmao.

why would you use stock coils on a FI? That would be the first thing before FI (for me)

I don't even know where to start on that POS, there is just so much wrong there it's no wonder it blew so quick. My guess is that it is running the emanage or some homemade tuning solution.

It's too bad, the guy looked like he put a lot of work in to it.
Ugly as hell.

What the hell was that in the engine?

Was it some sort of liquid to air IC?

I think it was an oil cooler or secondary radiator. All the blue and the interior made me cringe.

This is becoming an epidemic in my town, like it's seriously getting bad there's 4 other cars like this rolling around! This one pulled up next to me at a stoplight with his stereo rattling his trunk apart lol He must have thought I thought his car was badass when he saw me snapping a pic of it:-P Go figure!
