So I know back in the day there were 2 companies that made full aluminum radiators for the 420a Eclipses. Neither of them make those products anymore and trying to find a used one is a joke. So what are our current options for upgraded radiators on the 2gnt's? Do we just have to buy one that's not meant for the car and make it work? Or is somebody just really good at hiding their product...
I recently saw a YouTube video about using a 1g radiator and hoses. But you have to modify the lower water line and delete the heater hoses. I'm perfectly fine with no A/C but I'd like to maintain heat, at least until I'm ready to store it in the garage all winter every year.
I'm perfectly fine with buying universal cooling fans and making them work. I know of the good brands for those and mocking them up is usually easy. I have just never wanted to use universal parts on something like a radiator. Being properly mounted and supported is important, as well as the cooling and flowing capabilities.
