65905, Cracked Radiator.....
Posted by CVedEclipse, Jan-05-04 08:48 PM
Well, my radiator has a nice crack in it now. I did a little searching, but was unable to really find where everyone is getting their radiators from. I'm looking into the fluidyne's and spal fans (RRE right now). But what brands/where from/how much are you guys finding your radiators/fans for? RRE is selling there modified turbo fluidyne's for $350, and I know they make them for the 2gnts now. help me out fellas. TIA:thumbsup

Here's my story....my car was overheating and I didn't know why. Someone convinced me that my radiator was clogged, so I bought a stock replacement radiator from NAPA ($210) only to find out that my radiator was fine.

So if ya want it, I'll sell it for $50 + whatever shipping would cost. I'm in Colorado. Just lemme know.

I got the Fluidyne from Summit Racing ($399 + shipping.) So, if you can get it from RRE for $350, I'd jump on it. It's a very nice piece, and it's a perfect fit--20 minute install.:7

yeah summitracing sells an all aluminum for 2gnts. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

I'd assume in reality its more like an hour. Unless you are working like a nascar pit crew.

I usually have a beer or two while working on the car and take a little break every now and then to keep a clear mind.

yo, fluidyne now makes a direct replacement for our radiator and road race has them. that is the 350. they don't modify turbo ones anymore. i like the fluidyne it is shiny and it freaking works great and looks totally HARD in the car!

Yeah they make direct ones for our cars. Mike tell me when you want to look at the C&R one and Ill meet you, I live in montebello remember? I have the C&R aluminum from chad, it comes with a Spal fan for 410 shipped. I still have to get pics to him since I have model :00000001 :thumbsup

but if your out for stock theres a manufacturer near azusa that sells stock ones for 99 bucks.

Thanks for the help so far fellas.

Chamuko, I think that I just might have to get that stock replacement for the time being, I need to get this car back on the road asap, and I'm a little strapped for cash. And from then on, I can decide on the C&R or the fluidyne.
