    Hi, the time has come for me to start thinking about cooling as i plan to get into some casual sprints and of course further the performance of my car for drifting.

    As most ke70 owners will know, the Ae86 and Ke70 Radiators are very different in dimension and fitment/mounting. So the options for Ae86's are not always the best option.

    Specifically for me i am looking at getting a Alloy radiator, but of course these are not made for ke70 (at least not to my knowledge). I hear that a CA18 radiator is a good fit and i plan to pursue this, if anyone has done this please post up as id love to see it.
    If so ill be hitting up Jamie from IAP for one

    For those that are interested i want to discuss what you have used in your ke70, what fits, what provides the best cooling. etc
    Anyway, id love to see what idea's people have had, so... Discuss

    I've had a standard reco'd radiator in my car ever since i pranged it a few years ago. With a 12" thermo fan, it never gets hot. Ever.

    No matter if its a mountain run, or a drift day. Although thats only using the standard temp gauge. I'll know more when i put my greddy one in...

    a st162 rad fits well comes with 2 thermos with shrouds. Get two bottom mount out of two seperate st162 and bolt/screw/weld them to mount the bottom of the rad and use the top u monut on the top. I put one in a mates car and have never seen it get to 1/4 and the thermo's are awesome. Ill try find a pic.

    They are cheap and easy to come by at the wreckers cost $40
