KY Radiator Question

So, I took my car to a new acquaintance's house the other day. He asked me if he could take it down the street and back because he hasn't had a 7 in a while. So I said sure. When he got back, he said my car is pretty strong for being a stock(non-rebuilt) motor. Well we pop the hood and he points out a few things to me. One that is between the front cover and the housing there is gasket sticking out(he said means either someone just replaced the cover or could mean a rebuild). Another thing is that I have a Nihira Radiator. Now I dont know much about the past life of my car. I bought it for 500 and it came the way I'm driving it right now(except for exhaust.) I was just wondering if the Nihira Radiator is a stock one or if it's any good as an aftermarket one?

Also I was wondering if anyone is from Burkesville, Ky who drives RX7's? Thats where this car's from(per carfax).


Cliff Notes: Is a Nihira Radiator a stock radiator? If isn't, how good is it? And also anyone from Burkesville, Ky? Thats where this car came from.

nichira, it's a fully brass stock replacement, much better built than OE with the plastic endtanks. It's what most are replaced with when theyre old and start to leak.

If you're concerned or have questions about anything i can come meet you and look your car over.
