Aluminum Radiator
Im looking for an aluminum radiator for a 1986 n/a, the only place I have found so far is rx7.com, I was wondering if anyone knows some other places where I can get an aluminum radiator, and preferrebly cheaper

The competition one they sell is the same one I bought from SR Motorsports for $549. RP charges $638.
If you're handy you could buy a Griffin radiator from Summit for $200-300 and get it to fit. They sell some nice ones.

I'm not quite sure why everyone seems to want to spend lots of money on a cookie-cutter radiator when they can order a custom radiator.

I had a guy custom build a 2-row, all aluminum rad with 1" cores for me. It's very similar to the Mazda Comp piece and uses a Howe core. I had posted a few months back about maybe selling them retail. The details on that weren't feasible though. Anyway, the total price including shipping was less than $350 to my door. All you have to do is send the guy a drawing (which I have) and a credit card number. I had my rad exactly a week after I ordered it. The only thing that you'll have to do is drill out the holes in the mounting flanges for the rubber grommets. Drop me an email if you're interested.

I ordered the 22" x 19" howe... I am still having a bit of cooling trouble, but I honestly think it is the fan (I have a Perma-cool, no shroud, don't think it pulls enough through the radiator... also need to seal around it like the stock one...)
I had some mounts welded up, and drilled the holes myself... total about $250 (Radiator was $199 from Summit)
