Tyson Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 http://www.fastrads.co.uk/partfinder/?id=1&vrm=GBZ106#images_1 thats what ive found so far They are aftermarket ones not OEM Toyota, personally with such an important part of the car I would stick with a known quality Toyota one. The one in your car has lasted about 20 years so it's a worthwhile investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I thought an OE tt rad was getting on for £300, it's been a while since i priced them up though, i think CW has a contact for these iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Cool, £220 for OE is a no brainer , yes i heard the manual ones were no longer available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have not had to change a Supra radiator before but when my old mr2 units died I had a local company re-core my old unit is this not possible on the supra. Saying that why bother refurbing if its sub £300 I suppose its not worth the risk I cant remember whether the end tanks are plastic on the supra.

Richie_k83 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Being a complete noob, why cant the manual rads fit an auto? Mine has seen better days so have been debating a Mishimoto one but says they're manual only...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has seen better days so have been debating a Mishimoto one but says they're manual only...? They will fit but you would need a seperate transmission fluid cooler as the auto oem rads have it built in to the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
