Time for new radiator...

Last night car started overheating like a bitch....had to pull over three times on the way home from work just to let it cool off. Drove it back to work today, again, overheating. Got to work, checked out the radiator and notcied no coolant was in it.

Checked the radiator and found a little pool of coolant down at the bottom, and splashes of coolant on the frame of the car. Filled it up, called around and am about to replace it with a Fluidyne radiator....$400......oh, well it'll be worth it, especially seeing that the H22 is going in next week....sweeeet...

damn dude looked at ur sig and you got a PS2 in the glovebox too, that is a good ass idea, but i think one of these weekends when i am not working i am gonna take out the glovebox and have it custom fitted. Not to sound like i am hijacking your thread i just changed radiator not to long ago. Good luck with the H22 swap

maybe it's too much you're wanting : a aluminium radiator will be fine and the price will be more less than this one.

The fluidyne is most used in turbo application if I check the web web

Fluidyne is just a nice aluminum radiator. They are made extremly well, I'd def pay $400 for one over that junk on ebay.

MYcarmensita - thanks for the props on the PS2 install. I had to cut out the back of the glove box a little bit with a dremal but it fits very snugly in there - no need to use mounting brackets or anything.

As for the radiator - that's the cheapest price ive found so far. Nopi wanted around 450 for theirs. Oh, and yeah, i am planning on going turbo, so the fuidyne is a very good choice. Thanks for he input guys
