Default So which radiator for my classic?
So should I get .....

Japspeed one on scoobynet group buy for 109 delievered normally 159?

Mishimoto i'm sure is good but nearly twice the price!

A standard one from somewhere else? I know many people say standard is fine.

Import Car Parts - either their standard or performance alloy radiator? (Which seems similar to japspeed one...I know ICP does generally quality stuff though?)

Curios what you all think for my type r.

http://www.arc-brazing.co.jp/radiator.html (Rolls Royce of Rads if you can get one or have bottomless pockets)

A Koyo (from the states if you can get one for a classic)

A Misimoto (because the warranty is sexy)

A standard one. (all will do the job really)

What where your temps like on the ring?

Yeah I did talk to that guy Shane but I don't think he knew what he had! He listed as RCM but then admitted he wasn't sure and at 80 pound its near what a number of new ones go for!

Temps weren't too bad I think they have been worse on days with hotter weather i.e. Brand's.

I suppose as long as its made of decent materials it shouldn't be an issue.

Dave if you buy me the ARC we can do more posh accents??

I bought my seats off him, he's a good guy.
