"They will make anything you want and the rotor motor stuff they have on the shelf and they will polish the aluminum if you want. The Aussie dollar is half what your money is so very good exchange rate the owner had seriously cut his hand but I still got my cooler in a fair time,good shipping material, good quailty, and bigger than my stock cooler so more oil and cooler oil temps."
OK I emiled them for an estimate:
"A radiator for your RX7, double welded, linished & polished in 55mm
thick core, would be Aust. $1198. with $178 for packaging, postage &
insurance."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1,374.00 Australian dollars = 772.33 US dollars
Exchange rate: 0.562100
Rate valid as of: 7/2/2002
Holy Smokes Batman!!!!
I can get a EVANS Radiator for 280!!!!

You will have to measure and drill everything. You have to cut away the top flange in two places on the drivers side to clear the battery and the oil cooler lines. You'll need an electic fan because you can't use the stock fan and shroud. And the filler cap hits the hood. It took me about 12 hours to install it. But it seems to work ok and it looks good.

A custom Griffin radiator will be expensive as will any custom radiator. Just log on to summit’s website and see what will come close to fitting then make it fit. If you have any specific questions about the radiator you choose, just call up the manufacturer. You could also pick up a circle track magazine and find a great deal of information on parts and vendors.
Many many vendors to order from as well as manufacturers.

i've been driving with a newly installed Koyo for about 2 weeks now with no problems. It has been extremely hot and humid out here in the northeast with temps being over 90. I saw temps mainly staying about 190-195F on my Defi temp guage (city driving). This is with a fmic. With the ac on, temps stayed around the 205-210F (highway)…but never saw more than 215F. I have yet to drive with ac on in the city...I'm running just 70/30 water/antifreeze.
