Title: Koyo / Stock Radiator.
Post by: Matt_K on May 31, 2008, 05:33:42 PM
I was always told I had a stock radiator when I imported it, and with it being \'black\' and stock looking, I never really checked.

Just got round to cleaning / sorting out a few bits from my rebuild and when I split the fans from the rad, I noticed a sticker saying "koyo" - I thought all koyo\'s were aluminum and shiney?.. this one\'s black, and not dirty black. lol

Did koyo make a replacement stock rad.. is this a \'sticker\' to make it something it\'s not?.. has it been painted do you think?

Looks like a stocker to me. Prob is made by koyo, but it\'s deffo not an uprated one. Sell it for £50 and get an proper ali one.

Well I\'m custom fabricating my own v-mount, so it was going to go anyway.. didn\'t want to  be throwing it away if it was anything nice!

£50?! stock rad\'s go for that?

V-mount\'s going to be a month or so away yet, I\'ve got to rebuild the block first, wanna get that out the way before I start messing.

I work for an engineering company, so I\'ll just get a coded welder to do it. lol they always say it\'s not what you know......
