Im ready to buy a radiator , just need your advice

89Domindart · July 21st, 2009, 11:51 PM

Hello,

I think Ill just go the easy way out and spend much less just by putting a direct replacememnt in. I dont see any advantage w a alum one in my car. I have a stock motor.. though I may upgrade h/c/i later, I see no advantage for a $220 radiator now.

Am I thinking right?

I got a aluminum radiator from auto zone for about $100. Check em out and see if they got one.
