lmfao at the alien blood not ur situation ... get one from a autozone or a advanced auto... something like that. radiator is a radiator in my book. i had a 500+ hp car with a autozone radiator they work just fine.

edit: btw they are like 100 bucks

Saying that a radiator is just a radiator is like saying a turbo is a turbo.

An E-bay special or an Advance radiator might do the job short term

but will never cool as good as an Aftermarket aluminum or OEM radiator. It all

boils down to what you want to spend and the purpose of your SC. (Daily

driver, Track car, etc.)How many miles do you drive with your SC, How do

you drive your car, do you take it easy or do you drive hard? There's a ton of

different factors that should determine which radiator would suit your needs.

Good luck!

Someone doesn't love your Car. All Toyota and Lexus vehicles use Red or Pink coolant.

im not disagreeing with u but if u have read the mans previous posts on the forum, his car is not a race car. thats why i said that. i should have said since ur car aint a race car just use a regular one even though a autozone one will 100% function even if u had more then 500hp.
