    Alright guys, just found out my oem radiator has a 2 inch crack on the plastic and squirts out coolant whenever i pump the throttle...being said that now is the time to go aftermarket and have a Aluminum one instead of the plastic one.....my question is which one to get??? I'm on a budget since i need to replace my power steering pump as well...and i've been looking at Ebay ones and import image racing..I do know about ebay parts but i've had some success with it, like down pipe, up pipe and nasioc has some reviews on the CXracing that are pretty good what cha think?

    just pick one up from AllPro.

    Yeah, it'll crack again, but how long did the first one last? I doubt you'll replace it again...

    I dk drew, I replaced my old one with a used stock one from Rick and that one cracked like 10-20k later and Jamey wound up putting a mishimoto in. I say save the $150 you were gonna spend on a used stocker and put it towards the mishimoto. Do it right once...

    The Gimmick Motorsports High Standard Aluminum Radiator has your name written all over it.
