good choice!

 

you guys think theres a major difference between fluidyine and koyo, cooling wise? fluidyine is like 150 more... im wondering if you just paying for the name or what.

it looks great. was it difficult to install? notice the car running cooler?

 

lol, i took pictures of it in my room for a reason, its not on the car yet! heh...it started to rain over here, but its supposed to stop tomorrow...so it'll be installed tomorrow and ill take more pics.

 

using the stock brackets sucked for me
my rad was an aftermarket stock replacement tho

 

isnt it a direct fit? thats what i was assuming... i hope so anyways. i outta go get a efan while im at it, to clean up the engine bay a bit. oh well, im planning on getting a fmic and bov as well so we shall see!

 

It should be a direct fit. Let me know how it works, I have my eye on the same radiator!

 

my brackets didnt fit right, so I had to bend/cut them.
since the rad is bigger I also needed to use spacers for the fan shroud

 

Shouldn't you first mod be a complete tuneup and inspection, resoldering of all the electronics, and a major cleaning?

 

That's not really a mod though it's more of just maintenance. I need to resolder my electronics too but I don't have a soldering iron.

 

Ive kinda done that already. I've replaced fuses, and fixed conections. The only thing thats really left, is the idiot light cluster, and thats not that big of a deal, because the only thing thats wrong with it is the clock.

anyways im off to install this badboy! be back later with an update!

 

I have some issue with my clock and when I tap/smack the dash above the cluster, it comes back on along with the check engine light.

 

lol, well its in... it has a small fitment issue with the stock brackets that bolt up onto the sides of the radiator...the holes are a little shorter on the koyo, so i had to stretch out the holes on the brackets... also its a little bent up on the passenger side of my car from hitting a tree, so i got 3 of the 4 bolts onto the chassis in for now. ill take it all out and replace that top piece that goes from one headlight to the other later on...and im too lazy to take more pictures right now, but its dark so more pics will have to wait till later.

 

Well, nobody asked yet, but where'd you get it and how much? I want to get a new radiator for mine, being that it is just starting to look brittle on the end tanks and stuff.

 

Ditto. Bench vise to bend the brackets half an inch or so and a die grinder to elongate the holes.

 

I actually got it from a friend for $300 even, no tax or anything...but yeah mine was looking like that too, once it loses its color on the plastic end tanks (top and bottom) its time to get a new one.
