chrex Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi guys, So i need to replace the rad - it's tired and i want to put a decent one in. Had a read through some old posts, but wanted to get an opinon on things as tech comes along in a couple of years. Is it worth getting an Alloy rad - looking at the Japspeed one - thats the best option in my budget tbh (circa £200) and wanted to stick some elec fans on so i can bin the viscous off to free up the motor a bit. I know there is alot of OEM fans on here but honest opinions here please as I feel buying from Toyota is a bit of a rip off... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Keron sells brand new ones, like oem but at a much cheaper price than Toyota, i got a auto one in mine. Comes with new fixing etc. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, any parts for the engine i go OEM or OEM pattern, alloy rads look good but i worry about how long they will last/ hold up unless your spend big bucks on a well known brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
