koyo radiator install
First off i just want to say that i got a brand new fd koyo radiator for $290 shipped off ebay. I don't understand how these people make any money but I'm not complaining.
Anyways I was kind of nervous about the install since I read so many posts of people crying that it didn't fit well. It ended up taking longer than expected but it was well worth it for the money savings and thicker radiator. I just swapped the brackets like everyone else and rounded the corners on the brackets. Then there were 3 other spots on the car I dremeled down a bit and then it went right in. All my stock intake and intercooler parts fit perfectly (including the duct). Just wanted to post this to offset some of the other opinions out there.
Is there a how-to for this? I couldn't find one because of the search problems on the site. If someone had photos of everything that needed grinded down it would easily save an hour or more of test fitting. I would have taken some but I was already hogging my dads garage for long enough.
