Re: ISO: aluminum radiator (pwr5229-3)

Just a quick update: minor modification is needed. Some simple fabrication and welding, and new universal mount hoses. Had new mounts welded in, installed a b and m super cooler tranny cooler, a spin on tranny filter with sandwich adapter/temp probe, the new radiator, the lower hose, the whole nine yards. I now can drop in any 02-07 sti radiator! However I have one issue waiting to be solved, that is the top hose is in the middle of the radiator and with the hose kit I got it will touch the serpentine belt. Hopefully a 90 degree elbow will sovle that and ill be good to go.

If all works out well, in the future I could drop in a better brand radiator for a lot less than the pwr one.

Pictures are soon to come as I have trouble with posting them from mobile. If anyone is interested I did take pictures along the way to show the whole process
