I'm in Killeen, about 45 mins from austin, and three from dallas or SA. I do a good bit of work on Toy/Lex, but our shop is mainly NSX'es. I do happen to have a MKVI supra radiator here, it's a koyo unit.

Also you'll need a trans cooler if you decide to do it. I have it on my SC400, and it works great!

Don't use that stuff.. It might clog up your heater core..

Please don't do that! You risk blocking that and everything else in your cooling system. Thats putting a band aid on the problem. Same thing also using a egg. Don't do that cause you could as mentioned before clog your heater,thermostat,heater control valve,or other small area in the the motor. Replace it with a discount one cause the dealer ones are costly. You could go performance after market and get a Misimoto or something along those lines plus you get better cooling.

I don't have the money to buy a new radiator right now so I was thinking of it because of how cheap it is.

I did it on my s13 and had no problems with it. :\
