Sweet, I used the 95 one, so that's a grand total of $87 shipped from RockAuto. Cheap!
wasn't sure which stuff you went with. whether you used the one from your 95 or the 91 rad.

Was the radiator broken in the tank? When mine was leaking I just whent to the junkyard and bought the tank only. Cost me only $10. Did the intallation myself. Saves money and why remove a good radiator if it was just the tank?

Because now he has a 100% new radiator, vs one with a JY tank on it which could blow at any moment.

The plastic tank raidators are disposable when it comes to repairs... I asked someone about it once and they said if you want a "New" tank that should last longer than a JY pick then they are near the same price as a new radiator itself.

Sometimes if you get lucky you can find a radiator that is almost new and use that tank. This is what I did and so far my radiator has had not leaks for at least 6 months now. For $10 I think it has lasted a good amount. But I do agree most of the time buying a new radiator cost less than fixing a old one.

I'm also not sure if he has any you pick it yards close enough to him to justify repair.

I seem to get burned when I buy used parts for this car too. The "new" struts, mounts & Eibachs I just put on from Mike have one mount that's no good I can tell already...

How do you have a no good mount... Its not possible unless its worn out so bad it can move and clunk. The ones I replaced were only done because they were 15yrs old... I'm sure they still would have been fine.

Bounce the car and you can see and hear the mount clunk. The stuff I got was taken off Mike from VA's car (the one Shane bought.)

Got my new rad from rockauto already! And rebled the clutch hydraulics with no change in the light pedal...it's just that light. Even lighter than Tiff's gaybaru. One of the guys on v6z24 said after he did the braided line swap his pedal was lighter too.

I washed it and drove around a while tonight but forgot the camera. It's lookin good though!
