Hey Folks, lets talk about radiators and overflow tanks for our S197's. Which one do you use? I still got the factory one at this time but i'm looking to upgrade. Even with the Reich 170 degree thermostat it still runs a little to warm for my liking. I just don't think my factory radiator is keeping up in this 100 degree heat were having when revving to 7k+ when having fun.
I'v seen some all aluminum 3 core radiators ranging from $199.00 up to a grand. I have always been a fan of Mishimoto products but noticed I can get some off brand ebay aluminum radiators the same size for half the price. I tried searching the forums for information but got lazy.
Which one do you use or would like to get in the future? Ill probably end up going with one of these.
