my rad just blew :(
 

while it didn't crack and blow up like the other guys. but the seal at the top tank is gone and it leaks like 1/2 quart just driving around localy now.

what are my options? I really want a Fluidyne and was going to buy one next spring but I don't have $500 to spend right now. where is the cheapest place to buy them?

if I can't find one cheap enough I guess I'll just get mine fixed.

is there a difference between 89-91 turbo and non turbo stock rads?? I know the 86-88 ones are different because they have the caps on the water pump neck.

rad.
 

well I havent found any fluidyne's for less than $587 well at least thats the cost for my car.. Have you looked at the rads at mazdatrix? thats what i think im going to get.The mt/al 2 row. I dont have $580 for a fluidyne.. i wish i did.. well good luck.

If you want one super cheap, look localy. About $120 for a brass replacement, Plus you get a lifetime warranty.

I personally don't like the brass ones even though I did have one in my car for about a year and a half after my top tank cracked.I don't think they cool as well.After I got my after market temp. gayge and electric fan I played musical radiators between the brass one and a couple used stock ones until I found a used one that didn't leak.Mainly after hard driving the temp. on the brass one was a tad higher and it didn't seem to recover as fast as the stack alum. one.I'm not completely happy with the stock one but it will do until I can afford the fluidyne or some other one.Mazdatrix has the stock 89-92m/t one for 306.98I believe.

Just called up mazdatrix the m/t is all brass painted black and a direct replacement for the stock, price is $233 for 89/90.. mvp motor has the fluidyne for $500 also, i think they are located in texas so no tax..but they wont have any till next wed. rx-7.com has some in stock. $549 but they will not match there price.. no tax there.. I think Im going to wait till next week, and order a fluidyne.. $500 no tax its about the best deal for this rad. right now..

if you were here in my neck of the woods, I'd be able to get a friend to fix it for rather cheap. :(

dude, http://www.absoluteradiator.com $413 and they have them in stock. in Ca.

I can't afford it though. I'm just going to get mine fixed.

www.k2rd.com call up paul, the radiator fits just as well as the fluidyne, and its huge, and its cheap. if you cant afford that you can get any 89-91 radiator they are all the same.

mike

fits?? you have to move the battery and install an electric fan to get the k2rd one to fit.

fluidyne fits with stock fan shrud

Dose any one have any experence with the radatior from www.k2rd.com??
