So I got my celica running again with a Koyo Radiator. This sucker is a little bigger (Thicker) than my stock radiator and some modification was need on the fan mount (driver side) to work around the engine mount. But this things looks BEAUTIFUL! I love it. Stays cool longer too. Had the car running until normal temp and wasn't even hot. I know this isn't really news but just wanted to share my happiness. WOOO!
Oh yeah, also, what is missing? I noticed two little tabs that stick out across from the radiator cap that looks like something screws into. My last radiator didn't have it either and by looking at that sweet ass SS-Four that dude was making, I seen in a photo under the hood that there is a little black box. So what is it that is missing? I wonder if it is important or not. This post has been edited by Random_Stranger: Mar 4, 2008 - 6:58 AM -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Okay I will take a picture. I dunno how to clean under the hood though, so yes, it will look dirty and I just did it yesterday, so I will need to find an after market radiator cap as well. But yeah, I will take a pic.
Dude, don't scare me about this radiator. Darn thing took most of my paycheck. I had some trouble installing it though with those stock fans. I recommend if anyone were to install one in the future, to be aware it might help getting some after market fans too, that have slim mounts, otherwise some cutting into will need to be done a little. I didn't have too much trouble, and the only thing I had to really do was cut into that one fan mount, which is just plastic and could easily be done. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
