Im in need of a '79-82 Short Radiator for my 1980 Toyota Corolla with '85 12A.The radiator im using now kinda sucks.I have called most of junkyards in my area &No luck.I have the radiator for a '85 but it is too big ,it wont fit.What other radiators are comparable in size & cooling that is comparable to the '79-'82 Radiators?Someone told me a VW Scirocco Radiator would work?I NEED HELP

 

I bought a new one from www.radiators.com for something like 128 bucks.

 

I bought one from there too inittab. About the same price.

Cool! I'm impressed with the quality of it BTW.

 

Yeah, I was too .

~T.J,

 

if anybody wants im selling my short style 1" core alum rad. i paid 700 for it 250 and its YOURS SHIPPED and POLISHED. a few bent fins but nothing major... just sit down and in 20-30 min they are all straight again. ill even send you the custom mounts for a black magic fan if you want them, they are alum also and mount over the rad.

 

But why are you selling such a swanky radiator?

 

hey, Toyrotary have u got any pics of ur corolla? ive got a mate who's really into his corolla's, he has his AE-82 TwinCam which he wants to drop a 4A-GZE in one day. i wana show him a corolla with a real engine.

 

im going t2 and im doing a full size rad. to keep 300hp nice and cold

 

i bought one radiator from radiators.com, there packing job was less than perfect and it came with quite a few of bent fins. anyway, long story short. Next time i bought a radiator i got it from 911radiators.com for less and the packaging was MUCH better. If your looking for a stock 3-row. I would recomend 911.

 

I dont know how to post pics yet,How to I do it?The 12A swap over was done by a guy from Puerto Rico he now lives in my area.He made the motor mounts&Tranny mounts,I got a Drivshaft made.He had the whole car running in 2 days,That included pulling out the 1.8 motor that was in the car,So far with what I have in the motor. 1985 12 A +5 speed tranny
Racing Beat Intake+Road Race Header
Holley 450 DP+Race Fuel Pump with Regulator
Zoom Racing Clutch+PP
2 1/4 Exhaust to "Turbo "Muffler with a "Resonator" Very mellow sounding for Now!
This car is pretty Fast it has good gears in the back.It will be getting a new paint job + suspension (It is too low now)
All I need is a good radiator.

 

Funny. I got two radiators from them on two seperate occasions (within a week), and they both came PERFECT, well packed, and without a single bent fin. Oh well.
