ironically the same spot where my radiator just blew up is the same spot my celica died on me. 30 minute tow home, $150 koyo radiator to get, bought a new thermostat, gasket and antifreeze...$200 later..i gotta throw it on tonight and hope to get her going before the meet.

good thing the radiator is really easy to replace on our cars. we replaced mine in like 2 hours.
i didn't mind having to replace it i just wish it was on my own time frame instead of because of need. --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |

Im scared with 150. I should prophylactically change it i guess. I dont want to tow. also did you buy the OEM KOYO? -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
