I've found the handbrake to be pretty bad... I don't use it for drifting so it doesn't bother me, its fine for general road use.

Looks alright to me, AFAIK you don't need massive flow for oil coolers unless your engine's Rick James. I think just having one anywhere remotely near airflow will help dissipate heat.

"DEADLI" is engineered and fully street legal... how you ask? ....good question This car has been around for a loooooong time, and many years ago you actually could engineer a 308. Sometime in the early 90's they changed the laws and now you can't anymore. So that's the story with that one...

Last time I had an issue like this was on a 308 V8, Tried everthing to get pressure and in the end had to pull the pump out and put vasoline in it to prime it up.
