New Radiator for CANAMSA
Fred W B - 13/9/07 at 06:07 AM

I finally got around to unpacking my new radiator for CANAMSA.

31" (790 mm) x 19" (480 mm) x 2 7/8" sized aluminium supplied off the shelf from Summit racing USA. This is the biggest of a "universal" standard range.

Listed at 180 USD / 1300 SAR / 90 UKP in the Summit catalogue, and ended up costing 280 USD / 2050 SAR / 140 UKP landed here by airfreight.

I'm very happy with it, considering what it cost.

Cheers

Fred W B

The low value of the US Dollar is working in well for a lot of people.
The las thing I had shipped from the USA was a Wilwood pedal box at US$165 + P&P (A$265 delivered) it was A$120 cheaper than the local supply.

I received an RX7 rad, series 6 all alloy from China for $320 delivered to my door by courier. 52mm thick core should do well enough.

I looked at that aswell, but didn't dare going chinese... I'm not sure if they're good quality. So you can let me know, for when I start my next project (the S6 rad I bought now, goes into a 1982 S2 RX-7)

the very same rad was available from the majority of US and Australian Mazda tuning shops for an additional $2-300...with the addition of their sprayed logo!
It seems as good as many others, not as good as a locally made race one, but it is $450 cheaper!

aha, that's good to know
It's just that I had heared some things about chinese rads, and was a bit worried. But obviously, it's not gonna get any better quality by spraying a logo on...
