radiator leak
ok so ive had my 7 for 2 years now , all has been well until it started a slow coolant leak which turned into a faster coolant leak, anyways pulled bumper off and its definatly coming from the rad... now i may be dumb but i dont know exactly why there appears to be two "rads" do these 3rd gens have 2 rads ( i have a 1992 rx7cfrom japan, RHD) or is one like the a/c or something? anwyays the cooland is coming from the one thats closest to the engine, before i go and order a new aluminum rad off ebay, please tell me anything you can about replacement, which ones fit better, etc... i found little informatiuon about the subject on here, just some info on which didnt fit... but if someonme can explain the 2 rads to me that would be great, thank you so much

The car only has 1 radiator. You might be looking at the ac condenser or intercooler. I would stay away from crappy ebay radiators. I cna set you up with a nice Fluidyne or Koyo. I also sell a performance radiator that is 30% larger than stock with metal end tanks for significantly less than the other two if you are on a budget.

radiator fitment?
ok so i ordered a ebay rad... i decided to take a chance.. 
and hopefully she works alright for me.. its probably some generic brand rip off from who knows where. but still the core is 1.5'' thick and the koyo and fluidyne are both 2'' from the specs i read (someone can correct me if im wrong) and i also read that the problem areas are mostly a bracket near the battery side and the stock air box. so i was thinking might as well order a dawm cone intake filter... so my question comes down to, intakes, anything i need to know about that i thought i rememberd seeing something about a possible danger of air going the wrong way in one of the hoses? anyone know anything about that, it had something to do with the intercooler?
