Anyone got this, or thinking of buying one?

It\'s £100 or so cheaper than a koyo. I know people are gonna say "don\'t scrimp on stuff like this" .... but I\'m trying to get the thing back on the road reliably spending as little money as possible.

Any thoughts?

Unfirtunatly as with custom intercoolers etc you don\'t know until you\'ve tried it! So long as it flows the water well and the fins are efficiant it should work

Yeah. Some universal/custom intercoolers actually work quite well.

It\'s going to be better than a 14year old stock radiator surely?

if you are trying to do it for a little as possible why not put everything back in as standard? or do you really need to take a step back and look at what your main priority is ?

Well, I\'m trying to do it for as little as possible, but at the same time just making sure everything is in as good working condition as possible. (if that makes sense).

I want to uprate the rad, just for my piece of mind. But without spending stupid money.

Have a chat with Clive @ Shy/MRP - he supplied me with an alloy rad that is very similar in size to the Koyo rad but not as pricey (IIRC!).
