got my del sol rad

Well I bought that ebay one...its pretty decent.

Nice fins, and very clean. The cap that came with it, is kinda tight...I think I'll use the stock cap on it...maybe. Hose connectors look just right, as well.

Only down side that I see are the plastic tanks, but it said that they were in the auction. They do seem thick though, so it shoudnt be a problem

From what I can tell, it looks like it'll just bolt right up...everything seems to line up. Doin the install this weekend, I'll repost and let you all know how it goes.

Packaging gets an A-, however, as "turds" or packing peanuts would've been nice. But "s'all good in da hood"

well its in! Its great too! Fitment was perfect and everything went smoothly.
Temps stayed just slightly below the mid line with 30mins of driving (full cold AC on the whole time and I drove like a fiend)

I really recommend this to anyone thats looking for a rad upgrade, but cant justify the fluidyne or koyo's

no everything is a perfect fit
