Race Radiator
My brother is looking to replace the radiator on his MX5 turbo, any recommendations for something good local, he can't be bothered getting anything from overseas.

pretty much any 3rd party replacement which is at least as thick as the 2 core automatic radiator will do. That the stock one was engineered down to minimum weight and tends to block fairly easily didnt help it much , then again they didn't have aftermarket turbo kits in mind
The silverdale place on trademe had one that fixed my na8 turbo's overheating woes. Pretty cheap too.

I swear Roadsters actually have a personality because mine doesnt cook the Power steering fluid and only overheats after 2mins of drifting.
In saying that though Im not 100% convinced on the re-route for every car but for Turbo it seems the way. The Garage Hundred car doesnt run it or any of the Maurha built cars, RS Aizawa.
Dodsons is doing an order for Mishimotos at the moment, if not I hear old 626 ones fit(Not sure which) and there are a few decent cheapp ones around.

Yea, I've emailed them about parts plenty of times. It's rare for me to ever receive replies.Ian wrote:And Dodsons didn't even have the courtesy of a reply to my email enquiry of the 11th!!!!!
Is that typical of them?
