I have put --5-- radiators in my little red wagon - they are only $110 a piece, but still - I consider 10 yrs out of my svx radiator pretty good.

PS: A cheaper way would be to look for a car with a radiator similar to an SVXs, and just order one from Griffon, and mod it so it bolts in somehow. :| Custom is $$$. I know a guy who had one done for his neon.


Jim,

I know a guy who told me that there was a Nissan radiator that fit with slight mod for the bolts.

Ordered a new radiator from 1stSubaruParts.com a few minutes ago. After calling my favorite local Subaru shop and getting a quote of $505, I decided that $327 wasn't too bad from 1st.

I'll let everyone know if I have any problems with them or the radiator. Thanks for the help!

Radiator arrived from 1stSubaruParts.com and it looks great. Packaging of the radiator was done very carefully. Will install next weekend.

That's funny, mine taste like vanilla with just a hint of nutmeg. What brand of antifreeze do you use and when did you last change it?
