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.
