rad drain plug anyone? sr rad and other aftermarkets same as stock?
i found my retarded coolant leak. laying under the car coolant is coming *through* the crappy plastic screw of a drain plug my sr 'ultimate rad' has. no plug i found fit, the screw is M10 x 1.25. couldn't even get a bolt at HDR that would work. i just ordered a stock replacement to try that and was wondering if anyone knew if it would work. has this ever happened to anyone? i'm just layin there looking at the thing and i can see coolant collecting *inside* the phillips head fitting in the screw. bone dry out side of it.

Hell, call SR up and ask them! I bet you it's a standard (ie, not metric) drain plug, or an AN plug or something.

ew...metal expansion properties, brother?!?! I sucked *** at paying attention in my materials class in college, but my dumbass recommendation is to go get the $2 part with rubber seal. Hate to see a bolt cost you a set of water jackets and the time to replace them...at the least it'll save you a $400 radiator.

those radiator drain plugs are cheap garbage. buy 2 at least so u can keep a spare one in the garage in case it breaks again. best thing to do is not to over torque them, since this causes most to break.

I heard that the SR radiator is actually a koyo and that ray sticks an indiglo sticker on the koyo emblem and bumps the price a couple of hundred bucks...do me a favor and peel off the sticker. I'd like to see if this is true.
