Got my 7 on the road for the first time since i bought it and while the car was idling last night it decided to do an old faithful through the carbon hood vents. shut the car off let it cool down then filled it up and it started leaking at the top of the rad. Any suggestions on a good replacement rad? Thanks in advance.

 

which model rx7?

I think www.rx7.com has radiators for all model rx7s and offer great customer service.

 

Sorry, it's a 93 twin turbo 5spd.

 

good site

 

Thanks for the tip on the site!

 

rockauto.com - if they have parts for the fd you'll love'em

 

Make sure the radiator is specific for the FD....it has all the mounting points for the fan assembly, the lower tank has the nipple for the AST line, it has a drain etc. Seems obvious but some have been surprised.

FWIW, Fluidyne and Koyo are probably the most popular aftermarket sources. Both are all aluminum and well constructed. Fluidyne is 150% larger, Koyo 200% larger....but larger isn't necessarily 'better' IMO. IIRC Koyo's come in two versions...'regular' and N-flow.

 

i like blackworks for a brand. i had one in a different car an it worked quite well for me. andysautosport.com has some for the FD if your interested

 

DNA is not bad and cheap

 

Andys autosport as a useful site

 

It all depends your price range and use. Rockauto is a great site but for oem stock parts

 

Thanks for all the info, I was looking at a cx racing one and some others on ebay. Trying to find one through the distributors I have available through work at the moment.

 

well it seem that your plastic end tanks cracked, the best rad i would get an what i use is koyo rads, but mishimoto makes some good rads too. stay away from ebay rads the might say koyo but u get them a it a knock off it happens but u might have better luck
