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

Nah man - do you know how a car's heater works? It works by using heated water from the radiator so it make perfect sense that this all happened to you [- the clutch - that was unrelated]. You're heater will probably work now but it will take a little longer to work because of the better efficiency of the new Radiator. It happened to me but ti's normal - nothing to worry about.
