Have you searched the parts for sale section yet? I see people selling them all of the time on this forum! If you are looking to buy one from a performance shop or something of that sort, I think the rx7 store sells them for around $360.

I saw some no-names on Ebay that were single-row. Isn't that different from the Koyo/PWR/Fluidyne/etc types? Anyone actually been successful with the cheap ebay version?

I should clarify. I have seen Koyo radiators on E-bay periodically for $275 from different vendors. I don't know much about the no-name ones however.

Whatever you do don't buy from Radiator.com. I got my KOYO from them because it was the cheapest, well I received a damaged product. They took it back and shipped a new one which was respectable but they charged me tax??? I live in Virginia, it was shipped from California. When I called to discuss it the lady I talked to got all shitty with me and claimed they have warehouses in VA, that's cool and all but it was not shipped from them!!!!

I got my koyo off of ebay from radiator.com, and I believe Rotorbrain did too. I purchased mine for around $275 or so. I live in Middle TN, and they have a warehouse in Memphis that had them in stock so I had the radiator in 2 days. Great condition... no bent fins. Same with Rotorbrain. Anyways, sounds like the guy about didn't have as good of luck as we did, but I would reccommend them.

that website is pretty goofy. The pseudo-live chat thing is funny - ask any question and it gives you canned answers.

I think a quick phone call is all that's needed.

I used radiator.com as well, but I had a good experience with them. 340+10 shipping or something like that. Just look on Ebay. Most of the time they post their price to buy then under cut it by 20-40 dollars and give them a call. That's how I did it.

Doesn't matter where it was shipped from. If a business does business in your state then you are liable for sales tax. Your supposed to pay it anyway, even if they are not located in your state
