Any thought on these guys as i need a rad for my car. Seems a good price.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

dan_up what makes you say that? the welding looks spot on to me especially for the money. It works out as being about 45% cheaper than the rad minispeed sell

Welds look fine to me. Why do they not look well made??

But are you comparing them to stuff like Radtec which are significantly dearer?

quite possibly, after having a closer look, the welds arnt that much different than the pricey ones! it was just a first impression because thats the first decent photo ive seen of one! perhaps i jumped the gun like a right c***.....

im with you Dan. i couldnt do a better job but for £137 of my hard earned, (i know its alot cheaper than everywhere else but its china at the end of the day.....) i would be looking for something abit neater.

Just my opinion. they are probably a good rad for the price.

If you look on the packaging it says china post!

Im more than happy with the one that i bought as a sample and i paid more than the group buy price.

I was only trying to organise a group buy to help other people save money. If people arent interested thats fine, the group buy wont go ahead. I dont mind either way.

wasn’t trying to knock it, think its good that your sorting this out..

its normally performance over style on here

How does it perform? if its noticeably more efficient then your on to a winner.

there seems to be alot of interest on TMF though, im sure once its tryed and tested more people will go with it, group buys are definatly the way forward though!!
