Thanks, I'm trying. Some old lady hit me while I was at the post office today! Apparently she just threw her VW in reverse and stomped it. Luckily it only scuffed my bumper, did crease hers though. Some 3m swirl remover and a microfiber cloth made it look better than before it got hit lol. I really need to buff the whole car to bring out the shine.

Tried to replace the radiator and hoses today but the radiator advanced got me didn't fit the stock fans and the hoses oreillys got me were for a talon. So basically the galant got a coolant flush. Guess I'll be getting hoses from a dealer and trying to get new end caps put on my radiator at a shop. My core is pristine, its just the yellowing plastic that worries me.

That looks like the OG radiator, if it is. It's far from pristine on the inside.

I'm sure it isn't pristine on the inside /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif I meant the core looks really good. If I can get a shop to put new tanks on it of course I'll get it completely cleaned out and looking new.

You're thinking too much in the past. For newer cars it's better to just buy a new one for $100.00. The original denso radiator is perishable, when it goes bad it's meant to be thrown out and replaced. Not re-manned. You want to get a real good flush of your entire cooling system anyway to prevent headaches in the future.

Yeah, I'm just trying to stay away from the dealers $600 radiator and a big aluminum one I don't need. Guess I'll just keep ordering from the other parts stores one by one until I find one that's the right size lol. The one Advanced Auto has in their system is definitely not the right one.

I feel like I got the last koyo OEM replacement because I can't find them anywhere now.

you might have to figure out some custom mounting option for your fans.

You want a koyo c0233. Call koyo and ask who has it in stock.
