Default Blob radiator advice.

I need a new radiator for my 05 JDM Sti. I,d prefer an all alloy one. Also I notice that they come in different widths. Can anyone advise on who to buy from and would my Japspeed front mount limit me to a smaller size? Thanks Steve.

I bought one from japspeed, iirc it was about £100, it should fit without trouble to your intercooler as the rad sits engine side of the slam panel and the fmic would sit the other side so wont make a difference.

The japspeed one seems a descent bit of kit soo far and its been on my car for about 6 months.

I'd think any aftermarket rad wouldn't foul the fmic as the rads fit the original mounting points in the car

I replaced my original radiator (10 years old) because it started leaking from the core about a month ago for a cheap Ebay job. This radiator leaked just as bad as my first one. My advice, Buy cheap, pay twice. Steve.
