need a radiator....BADLY

anyone know where i can get an aluminum radiator for less than 250?

if not aluminum whats the second best i can get for in the 200's range.

my plastic OEM one is cracked.

and maybe some front OEM mazda brake pads with shims?

dude im srry unless you have a radiator shop near you your best bet is to spend the exrta money on the aluminum rad to get superior cooling and a parts store can get you the pads minus the shimes theyre garbage there is a blue sticky spray that takes the shims place ask the parts store they will carry it

spooledupracing is selling a CSF all metal radiator in the FS section right now for $225 shipped brand new. That's basically wholesale price. I would have bought it, but I got a rad for $100 through the distributors at my job.

that site is bullshit. they just tell me that its tricky to find a radiator to fit an 87, and that they want to have some mazda guy call me. its 1030. **** that. they didnt even tell me what brand. but ill check back tomorrow.

its not really bullshit. but thats lame you cant look yourself.

nah, ive bought multiple radiators for a few different cars from them, their site always says the same thing.

its just a computer recording

kinda cool though, kinda like a toll free ordering system. they only sell one kind of radiator, so there is no "choosing."

as for shipping, they rock, i got it the next day, for FREE!!
