    my mates running one, i put it in for him, cooled well even when the thermo fans didn't turn on all i did was angle grind a bit of the rad support away so it could get maximum airflow then yeah drill holes for the radiator brackets that slip right in. really easy mod to do

    yeah that's what he did, yeah the excel ones as it uses rubber mounts from top and bottom. well worth it, picked a mint condition one with the twin thermos and piping attached for $110 well worth it. he ended upusing a custom top hose though as we couldn't remember what top hose to use

    make sure its the excel2 radiator. no real mods to put it in. it sits on the bottom rad mounts pretty nicely too. use the excel rad mounts for the top though and just drill out the holes for it. works good.
