With the current engine, exhaust and tune, I haven't even begun to try and smog the bitch.

Please note that I didn't tell him to get an aluminum radiator. I said he "could" opt for an aluminum radiator. The OP was just asking about options in general for his GSL-SE.

There is a lot of debate between copper vs. aluminum radiators. Each rotary owner has to consider cost, weight, availability, efficiency and don't forget the bling factor. I opted to have my radiator recored - since I wanted to keep the car fairly original.
