I finally got my new radiator in. I bought a 2 row aluminum radiator. This thing is huge and I also got a Large Raidator hold Down Bracket that covers the whole top of the radiator. I will post some pictures of the install later.

I got the radiator and cover from eBay from Dynamicracing. The radiator fits in there but to took a little custom work to get it to fit right and sit down in there right. This radiator is huge I mean HUGE. The 2 cores on the sides are 2 inches wide. To compared it to the stock radiator its twice the size but a little smaller width. I dont have any pics of the install yet but I will get them this afternoon or tom.

Since I had the radiator out I decided to go and take the a/c crap out of the car too so I took everything out except the compressor bc I still need it until I get the delete bracket. Out of all of this I think I dropped about 30 pounds off the front end of the car and another 10 when the compressor comes off. This stuff freed up a lot of space.

^^ Yea, I want to keep my AC but I decided to just toss it. Also, that compressor is more than 10 lb's! It looks alot better w/ it off anyway.
