Decent Radiator?

[Jacob]

I need a radiator and I can't justify $700 on an OEM replacement.

I don't have $600 to spend on a Kyong so I need something temporary on the cheap to get the car going (car's booked in for a tune on the 26th Feb)

Would this be alright to run for a few months? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/52mm-2row-TOYOTA-COROLLA-AE86-GTS-aluminum-radiator-/170820078394?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c5ab8b3a

As Justin said, the chinese made ones can be either good or bad.

In the last 5 Ive bought, Ive only had one bad one where the mounts were welded on at a weird angle.
Ive found that the ASI ones seem to be the best and ship the fastest. For the price, theyre pretty good, just dont expect show quality TIG welds. Ive never had one leak though...

Late reply, but thanks for the advice Might consider one next time around.

I ended up finding a jap rad with an AE102 fan on it that does the job. Just need to wire the fan up and I'm gold.
