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

That's the mount for some cruise control options. Look at you stock rad - it has them too. Did you have to bend the little lip of your upper rad support? I did on my last one.
BTW - Be very careful with the nipple that goes to the overflow container - it is very weak. Mine snapped off when I was pulling it out of the old car. Actualloy I have a series of 20 or so pics that point out obvious problems with the details on this rad - don't get me wrong - It's a great upgrade to your cooling but there are a number of things they need to fix and could have done better. Other than that the craftsmanship is flawless.
