Looks like a good deal, but when you factor in shipping it's at $250 USD plus any duties that need to be paid.

You can purchase just the rad for $100, but $80 shipping to Canada:

I tried looking for some reviews but couldn't find any.

The rads do look simular to what Ziggy sells for @239.00, Ziggy's rads have good reviews from what I've read on CA DSM.

The Ebay rad would be cheaper than going through Ziggy I think but is the quality the same?

all go, no show!

Ide be all over this if i needed a rad and fans. According to the details the fans move quite a bit of air too. the rad looks visually impressive too. It even has a nice big drain like the mishimoto. i wonder if it has a debris magnet like the mishimoto rad.

Bringing this thread back.  I was able to score an all aluminum rad from Andrew V for a great price.  The rad fits like stock.  I just had to trim a bit of my passenger side fan guard to clear my internal WG but that was it.

The rad's core is definately thicker than stock, I think it's about 2", it's wider by about 0.5".

I just have the one stock fan on there right now and I don't see my temps rising above 199F.  Before it would hover around 206F and even get up to 216F when just lugging it up the Alex Fraser  >:(

I also have a 12" pusher fan that will go on before the summer to aid in the cooling when the temps start getting warmer.

I also like that the drain plug points down so you don't squirt your coolant all over your supports when draining it.  Stock fan will bolt up and the upper rad mounts line up fine.  No modifications required.




Later, Vlad.
