Brand new In-The-Box radiators only cost a hundred bucks for these cars.


Don't mess around with something you are unsure of it's age or condition.


This is one item you just don't skimp on.



Save your pennies and get a NEW one.

Sorry, I went a litlle AZ-ZBum... But damn! I'm surprised he didn't ask if someone was willing to put it in for him too. There is a profound difference between asking for advice on a difficult or little known topic and being just flat out too lazy to call an auto parts store or do a google search.



Yes, I'll drive my Z to MSA this year... I hope.
