oaksey Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi all, So i had eibach springs fitted today, while the mechanic was having a check around, he noticed a small leak on the bottom corner of the radiator, talks took place, 12 years old, probably had its life, o.k. no probs. I've seen posts on here in the past about Aluminum race/fast street radiators, i have a 2000 Gen 7 140, in good nick, plus i've done afew things, to make it mine. I don't mind spending more money on an aluminum one, but in your opinion, is it worth it, what extra will it give me for my money, if anything? For a stock one approx £50- £60, Aluminum £190 Is it worth the extra cash? Thanks in advance Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armoredfist2002 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Stock one has aluminium fins anyway Don't know where you found the price of £190 from, the ones i've seen on abay are from japspeed http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Toyota-Celica/Toyota-Celica/Toyota-Celica-GT--GT-S-High-Flow-Race-Radiator/p-25-1-472/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looks like they need a little work to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamk-9 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I bought a japspeed one and the fitment was terrible! So I got a refund and just bought a normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksey Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks for your thoughts everyone, probably stay with stock, i'm no mechanic,and without the knowledge,will mean extra cash for someone to mod stuff for me so it fits right. I'll be in touch soon ams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
