Default Alloy Radiators

Anybody used one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...item20b55ff130

Or one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Race-alloy-rad...item5197309fca

Or one of these

My radiator is looking pretty bad and with the idea of track days coming closer, thought a big alloy radiator might be an investment worth making.

Any feedback always welcome

Thanks,

I ordered the http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...item20b55ff130
for a mate, as his plastic rad split near the top.

Once fitted the temp of the rad was lowered by about 3 degree's whilst driving and took a little longer for the car to reach 91 degree's not sure if anyone else found this.

All in all he's had no issues at all with this rad and im looking to upgrade mine in the next 4 weeks to one of these.

Thanks Jim,

How long has the radiator been fitted for now?

Any issues with cooling fan clearance?

Cheers

Sorry try this link.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...item20b55ff130

He has had the rad fitted for about 3 months now, if you have a FMIC you will need to remove a bit of the fan guard with a dremel, but the garage did this for him, but this does depend on where your FMIC pipe work goes (if you have one that is)

He has had no issues with it at all, and its a very nice peice of kit.
