Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
John - Thanks for uploading that doc. I had no idea that was going on over there.

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
Another sad commentary on the 'reality TV show' that our lives have become... I don't FB so I was blissfully unaware of the drama, I believe that FB contributes to this.
I'm not defending Andy, and yes I do have a stake in the buy, but it seems wrong to me that he's expected to act in a professional manner but everyone else is free to, and some feel obligated to, act like childish jerks. I think we should all be held to some measure of personal decorum, and not hide behind the anonimity of a keyboard and act in a way that would make our mothers ashamed of us... That's just my take on the Facebook conversation. Would I like to have my shiny new aluminum radiator waiting in my garage for a good time to install it? Yes. Did I order it knowing that my radiator was on its last leg and I would need one at any moment? No, if that was the case, I wouldn't have participated in this group buy, I would have went to the boneyard and found a replacement. I can wait for AMR to follow through on their promises and I'll expect an impressive and near perfect piece when it arrives. In the meantime, I have better things to do than annoy the person I'm expecting to follow up on his promises with negative or inflammitory posts on FB. I'm sure most of you do too. Owen

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
I agree 100%. Even as a 23 year old, I dont use facebook for reasons like this, and many others. When I got into this group buy I knew it would take long, but long as in 3-4 months. I was considering contacting them my self. But I don't think it was right to call Andy out in thay way, publicly. But rather an e-mail just asking for an uodate and what the hold up is. Just my 2 cents. Also, I cant be too mad, my SVX isnt even running right now.

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
Part of my job puts me into service support escalation situations. By the time they get to me, the problems have usually been going on too long and the situation is about to blow up, so I deal with frustrated and occasionally angry customers regularly. How you respond makes a big difference in either diffusing the situation or igniting it. I appreciate that he is running a business and has a reputation to protect but yes, I would expect the person representing a business to act in a professional manner.

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
We are just hanging in and waiting for the radiator. We had hopes to install it during our outdoor maintenance season this year (late April-late October) but that seems unlikely now. On the bright side that work will go on our 2017 SVX Work to Do List with lighter crank pulley, belts, and water pump.

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
Im not sure this will be enough cooling for my power goals and am thinking about backing out and having a custom one built instead.

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
I took my money, from this 1000 year project, and ordered an all aluminum Mishimoto 2002-2007 Subaru WRX/STI radiator. I had my good friend Alex from Hise-Tech do some modification to the mounting tabs for the radiator and modification to the fan mounting points. I'm very happy with the results. 48hr turn around a time. Best of it all was it was correct on the first try. Engineer.... huh? haha

Re: Possible all Aluminum Radiator group buy
I must be a glutton for punishment. I sent the payment for the radiator fan/shrouds
