New radiator for FD

I'm looking for suggestions for a new radiator on my '94 RX-7. I still have the stock (and ugly) setup as seen through the front intake and I'm going to have a new engine dropped in, so I figure this might be a good time to get a new radiator. I've seen a number of pictures of far-more-attractive radiator grills visible through the front intake and I'm wondering what people would suggest for a new radiator that looks nice and does a better job of cooling this hot-running engine.

Thanks in advance.

Koyo , PWR, Fluidyne all do the same thing but Koyo is probably the cheapest.

As far as looks go, no matter what radiator you have, all you're going to see is your "ugly" a/c condenser. You can only see the radiator fins if you have removed your a/c.

You may be seeing large Frount Mount Intercoolers through the grill, and not the radiator.

Check the pictures in this thread:

Is that what you're seeing?

Yes, that's pretty much what I've been seeing in a number of photographs.

There have been a large number of discussions about which radiator is best. Everyone has a different reason for liking one more than the other. There is no clearcut "best" radiator. If you do a search, you can read all the opinions, and make your own decision. Any of the three listed above will do a good job.
