realy strugiling to see the diffrence between these and koyo etc anyway

As long as it\'s ali mate, it dont matter. It might not fit quite so good as a koyo or maybe it fits better, but the main reason people upgrade to an ali rad is because the stocker has plastic end tanks which is a major weakness on a 15 year old car that runs hot!! Looks a good price, go for it i say!

thats what i was thinkin
its going v mount so fiting isint an issue and is geting cut up and bigger end plates etc put on it so im guessing the core is proberly the same anyway.

i have one that looks the same! only thing is tho... the parts for the hose\'s are on the wrong side!
 
this one is mine:

I used one on the 1st gen and it lasted about a month. Not sure if it was my own fault though. I\'d strapped a 16in electric fan to the fins and possibly pulled it apart at the welds.

The FD one is missing the return for the AST too in the bottom middle of the rad.

I wouldn\'t have another. Ended up refirbishing the stock one with a double thickness core. Didn\'t really cost a great deal more after tax and postage costs.

Going to get the same guy to make an uprated FD rad for mine slightly narrower and much thicker with a pickup for my electric water pump. Won\'t be very cheap !

looks like same one

[ENVYD]

the one in the link tho looks like the parts for the hose\'s are on the wrong sides... if you look at the two picks at the same time you will see what i mean..

[ENVYD]

Please keep a real close look at it. Mine really didn\'t stand up to much on the 1st gen.
