Have you bought a Silla radiator?
I need to know any experiences SVX owners have had with Silla radiators. They're offered at a good price on ebay Should I get one? (My top tank is cracked.)

It would be nice to see a picture to determine if it would indeed fit.
We've seen deals on radiators like this before but they didn't fit.

It'll be interesting to see how well it works out for you (hopefully well).
Keep us posted.

yeah, that is the perfect option to our radiator issues if they fit. I will be in the market for one in short time as who knows how long the one in the teal will hold up... then again i may just go with an SVXfiles aluminum radiator

Got the Silla Radiator via UPS last night. Upon initial inspection, looks like a good quality product that should be a good fit. All the mounting points and places where hoses should go seem to be in the correct spot including tranny cooler. I'll be installing this weekend, and I will report back then.

So, how goes the radiator install? Did the Silla unit fit? What problems did you encounter and were you able to solve them? Let us know about your experience as this may be a good alternative for many SVX owners.

Here's the report:
Everything went fine, everything lined up, all is well. (knock on wood) Temp needle is steady in the middle when it warms up.

So the install was straight forward? No snag's or fitting to do?
Sounds like a good alternative to the oem for those who don't need/want/can't afford the pwr or other (SVXfiles) "custom" radiator and at a good price to boot!
