The third was one I bought for my sister's car and the fitment was a bit better, but not exactly drop-in. It is a "budget" rad compared to Koyo and Fluidyne, and this was a few years ago, so hopefully their QC or designs are a bit better. HOWEVER, I will say that their warranty is stellar and their customer service was top notch when I called them and questioned the fitment, the need to trim brackets, etc. The guy who bought my old 1G even put an elbow through the unit when he was wrenching on the car and they replaced the unit without question with a receipt that even had my name on it. For the few minor issues I had, that kind of CS brings them back up into a positive light.

haha that would be me =[ yea i still have the old radiator i put a hole in its actually for sale i repaired it before i found out they would warranty it

Final addition before the shootout. I had my buddies at JMF make me a combo coolant/oil catchcan that sits behind the passenger's headlight.

novec64 · 08-14-2012, 11:19 PM

That's looks really nice! I want one!

BlackBulletTSi · 08-15-2012, 10:27 AM

That does look really nice. I wanna go to the shootout to but got a surprise bday party for my dad and I need to install this new radiator.

outlawzxblizz99 · 08-15-2012, 11:02 AM

Wish I had room for something like that in my engine bay. Wish I had the patience for a wire tuck lol

BlackBulletTSi · 08-15-2012, 11:16 AM

Who do you guys recommend to get an alignment? I just got new suspension installed and it needs to be aligned. Also I'm putting together a list of what I have done on the car now up to this point in my build thread and was curious as to what type of horsepower I should be making. I'll update that shortly as I am in work but main concern at this point is getting alignment. How much and where should I go?

It'll fit with the fuse box in the engine bay.

RT Tuning, although a hike from you, will do a great job.

11secdsm · 08-15-2012, 01:40 PM

All plumbed up...

BlackBulletTSi · 08-15-2012, 01:51 PM

How much and where is it.

11secdsm · 08-15-2012, 02:01 PM

Not sure, you'll have to call them. It's in Lansdale, PA. 215-855-5565

blackvr4 · 08-15-2012, 03:08 PM

You tryin to compensate for something with the size of that catch can? :P

Do you run the baffles inside the valve cover?

11secdsm · 08-15-2012, 03:21 PM

Baffles are in but the bungs are below them. If I start pulling too much oil, i'll make some sort of a baffle for them....maybe. I don't street drive the car so it's really not an issue.

As for the catch can size..we were just trying to fill the space.

**Got Insulin?** · 08-15-2012, 04:01 PM

Heading out to Lebanon tonight to check out the newest candidate for my 4G powered drifto car project. Totally forgot that the Shootout wasn't till this weekend. Should be a great freakin' time.

TalonTsi97 · 08-15-2012, 05:31 PM

I'm so pumped for the shootout, first time i'll be making it out there.

mckpat03 · 08-15-2012, 09:35 PM

Can't wait! Leavin' about 1pm tomorrow. Third year for me. Hope to meet some of you TSTers that are going.

TalonTsi97 · 08-16-2012, 08:10 AM

We were going to leave around 11:30 tonight and drive through the night but after talking to my buddies we may leave earlier in the evening.

mckpat03 · 08-16-2012, 09:54 AM

Yeah we wanna go out and get settled at the hotel and get our supplies and whatnot (aka booze). Then be nice and rested for the festivities at the shop tomorrow.

outlawzxblizz99 · 08-16-2012, 09:55 AM

The fam and I are about to leave NJ and pass the shootout to go to Michigan to visit the wife's fam

11secdsm · 08-16-2012, 10:40 AM
