AE86's are mounted from top and bottom while KE70/AE71 are mounted from the sides.

Go get a ST162 celica rad....

All that is needed to mount them is two drivers side bottom mounts (they bolt in) and the two top mounts.

Tech screw the bottom mounts to the rad support and drill two holes in the top rad support.

The bottom hose will line up but the top wont. I used an AE82 top hose. It needs a bit of a trim but it fits alright untrimed.

This will keep the 4c so cold u probably wont need a fan but im running twin 10" thermos and they work well. Temp never goes over third sitting in traffic.

ae and ke are interchangeable but ke has in and outlets on top middle and bottom right, ae is left hand side top and bottom. I run stock ke rad (although new) with 16v that gets a hiding every single day and not once has it even remotely come close to getting hot. I run one thermo that i rarely switch on.

Just fit a hyundai one in, its a very efficient alloy item, fits well and is quite light. What do you think?

any 90s model hyundai excel, if it has air-con then it has 2 fans. Dont worry about it fitting an AE71 has a taller radiator support and it fits well. I know this because my friend fitted one.
