what's the best way to flush the radiator?
well like the heading says what works the best? I'm sure I've got a clog and can't remove it! I've flushed it a couple times, do I just keep doing it? can I remove the radiator, take it apart and clean it?

There are shops that can remove the top and bottom and use brushes to clean the radiator. It's not something I would do myself though. Give a few local places a call and I am sure they can help.

WTF they said about 125 to clean it out!! I was told I could get a new one for that much!! (not aftermarket just stock) does anyone else have a suggestion? why is it so hard to get inside there? R special tools needed?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Honestly, I would just get a new radiator. With summer coming, you don't want to take chances with your cooling system.

checked the Rx's are all cleaned out. except that fender I need for 25 dollars! haha. but I checked yesterday. I'm trying all cheap routes first. I'll try mazda/toyota recycling, they have a **** ton of every year of rx7's but their expensive. but hopefully not 125 expensive.
