I have a Jegs "direct fit"......I needed to buy a UPR radiator hold down plate, and the lower mounts needed to be massaged to get it to sit right. My car also stays cool, and I run a SN95 electric fan.

Just ordered the Fluidyne from Summit and got them to price match down from $389 to $359.

Jegs has jegs brand radiators which are WAY cheaper then name bands. the welds all look AWESOME very clean and well built units. Their universal ones are priced RIGHT. plus you dont need a full sized heavy ass radiator in a race car.

edit. I threw one in on a turbo deal when i sold my set up to Lumberjack. Dont you guys live fairly close to each other? maybe you could check his out.

The difference is the Fluidyne's are welded tubes (inside the radiator) and 99% of the others ones are epoxied on. While that might not make a difference for quite a while, seeing how I am never getting rid of this car I am going the welded route.

The Jegs / Summit ones did look nice though.

Fluidyne makes an awesome radiator. Be careful of the Summit and others as they don't fit all that great and you cant use a stock type lower radiator hose.

ps...I'm not feeling the eyes

Good info on the Summit ones, figured there had to be a reason why they were $100+ cheaper.

And not liking the eyes in my sig ? How about the mouth on the bumper ?
