I got mine from a local rad specialist, it was for a newage sti tho but only paid £140. Was the same as the standard one.

£140 seems pretty steep to me.
I just sold a lightweight alloy rad for less than that.

£57 ebay, coolpartsuk is actually a front for an established rad sales motorfactors. Delivered super quick and went straight on, couldnt tell the new from the old bar the dirt.

So there will be no difference in using a cheap one over a more expensive?:thumb:

Put it this way: I'm running a 2.5 forged at 400/400.

My rad went, I bought local, 2 yr guarantee, two decent new jubilee clips thrown in, it was IDENTICAL to the one I took off, except new and didn't have any holes LOL.

Paid £64 'cos I wanted it then.

I got the one in the second link a month and a bit ago right before MOT too!
Weighs the same, looks the same and has all of the same mount points etc. Fitted perfectly and temps are grand too, no different. Make sure you get the correct type though as there is one with a filler cap and this one without.
