I don't want to be plumbing my 2GR-FE into my crusty 23 year old radiator, so thought now is the time to get a new one! So, been looking around. Can either pay extortionate prices from Mr T for a new one, or go for an alloy one off Ebay. Has anyone got any comments on the below?

along with this shroud

Alternatively, any better recommendations?
Digressing a little here, I noticed that when I dropped the coolant pipes to remove the tank the straight pipe (passenger side) oozed brown shite.
I'm guessing both of these pipes are full of sediment so I'm going to remove and flush them.
Might be one to bear in mind if you're fitting a spanky new rad.
Have (another) chat with Patrick, I know he fitted a new rad and fans cos I had his old one.

I have a similair, if not the same set....
You are going to get shocked if you find out what toyota charges for new radiator cushions.
It might need some fiddling to get them in right, the space is very limited, I had some troubles getting the hoses fitted and I had to take a piece out of the shroud to fit the locking mechanisme.
The price is right, you just want to find out if you need to cut a hole for the locking mechanisme, you don't want to have to take everything out again like I had to. ( several times since I did it in 3 stages, not wanting to cut away to much aluminium)
Yea they both good i done both of my cars have full alloy rads in . Yes you really want to flush the pipes if you got Brown crap in Chris .Quote:

No negative running issues with them to report? Assuming not, I guess I'll order a set :)
