mrboomberang Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Im usually all for stock but feel the plastic goes very brittle surely there has to be better choices ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I fitted a Mishimoto the other day and they fit superbly. The fan cowling bolts straight on, no messing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Im usually all for stock but feel the plastic goes very brittle surely there has to be better choices ? Your car is roughly 15+ years old and is probably still on its original radiator so i dont think the stock one has done bad !! The next stock radiator will most likely outlive the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't think you can get Toyota ones any more, I've just bought an OEM equivalent from Chris Wilson. My original, which is plastic, has lasted 14 years, so I don't think it is a problem if you get a good quality one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Doh! I was about to ask for a link I've just gone for a fluidline radiator in mine as they're suppose to be pretty good quality for an alloy rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
