i use a chinese alloy rad from the bay and there was no extra cost good cheap rads im my opinion. I haven't had a front mounted rad on my car so I cant say which works better im sure some of the other lads have tho Done now needs redoing lol |

I purchased one of the Chinese alloy rads and didn't have to pay any further import taxes. The quality looks alright but I have yet to test, but at the low cost they are I thought I would give one a go. |

Ah ok apologies, think i saw them listing them once with a start bid of 60 aswell as a buy it now but got put off by some postage or summin? Anyone got a link to one now? Worth a shot if they are that cheap altho i have no cooling issues even at london2brighton in the scorching heat it didnt go over half but i reckon dry decking played a part, cinquencento rad sounds cool on being able to play around with different position of things On 24th Oct, 2015 jonny f said:

I have a big core alloy rad, got it from min-its. has Chinese writing on it. running more than 160 bhp at 13psi, currently up to 19 psi with no cooling issues. a long hard drive, the temps will go no more than 100 degrees. it will then idle all day without overheating, even in the hot weather. the engine bay is cool, the bonnet cool to touch.
