The radiator in my '99 SX-R (5SFE M/T) needs replacing.
I can fit a single row core unit or upgrade to a 2 row core unit (Same height and length, but 55mm width insteasd of the original 27mm )that I believe was fitted to the ST205 GT4.
Does anyone know if the wider unit will "drop in" without any clearance issues for fans, pumps etc?

Just had my 6G repaired after it started to do exhibit the exact same problem.
Local name for the faulty component was the "Idle Motor." (read "Servo")which is mounted in the throttle body unit.
Toyota Genuine Part was priced in excess of $Aust 600.
My repairer fitted a non genuine (but made in Japan) unit, at 1/2 the cost. (Go figure-- who is making a buck here)
Problem solved now.

Is the iac replaceable, or did you have to have a complete replacement throttle body fitted?

Hi guys, my 1st post.
Like NaderG, I am 6'3" and getting out of my Celica is the one thing I don't like.
Not because I don't want to get out, (sometimes I don't) but when it's time, it can be a real struggle untangling the legs from the doortrim and then pushing up to exit the car. The lower back takes a pounding.
But that's a minor issue from a cool car, 5SFE engine and all!
