You buy the oil cooler attached and as such it costs more than a standard radiator.
Look at the \"twincooler\" on the flyin miata site.

Well on Sunday the thermostat bypass hose developed a pine hole leak and covered some of my nice shiny engine in coolant 
Luckily it didn't take Mazda long to organize another.
It's nice to be back driving the MX-5, it's taking me while to get back to some smooth driving; exacerbated a little by the slightly lighter flywheel and heavier clutch.
Another item i've been trying on the car is a LF Performance Rear Tower Brace.
And a huge thank you to Simone at (Forum Sponsors) MX-5 Mania who found me a much cleaner radiator overflow bottle and posted it over in next to no time with very little hassle.
I'll have to take photos of both new items and upload.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Last I spoke top PWR they were unwilling to sell a twincooler in sutralia, and FM didn't seem interesting in freighting one over (possibly due to fragility?)
WHo supplied yours?
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.

Sweet thanks mate, been maybe a year or 18 months since I initially enquired, was not long after FM introduced it.

When I first inquired; PWD wanted to charge me almost $1500 (delivered to W.A.), at the time they were about $550 at Flyin Miata.
So this year when Flyin Miata said they were no longer going to stock them, I ordered one while they were still available.
I've since been told that you are no longer able to order them direct from PWR, and i've since discovered the wholesale cost is a LOT cheaper than the amount PWR initially quoted me.
