OEM radiator or custom? - 2/28/2008 11:08:48 AM    Kaede.Noir Posts: 1825 Score: 0 Joined: 10/10/2006 Status: offline Hey guys, my radiator had some fisures last night (which involved a lot of problems, and a girl in a white shirt soaked with antifreeze) and i did some research and after finally being able to bring it home... i came to a dramatic and world shattering question.... OEM radiator replacement for about 170 bucks.... Custom made aluminum radiator for about 200.... Im willing to pay the difference... but what i would like to know is that, the aluminum radiator is better? should i go for that one, or should i just go get the oem replacement? (which is what i have... with the plastic part full of fissures... but brand new wont be) _____________________________ ''98 2g 420a -Custom Aluminum radiator -Short ram shroom intake -No rice ''83 GTI 1.8 *SOLD* "the boat is gone, but now we got this huge gaping hole in the fence" Post #: 1
