because they're cheap, shit, chinaspec rubbish

some will not work right from the get-go

some will work great for a few hundred km before spitting seals

if you're lucky when its blows it wont spit chunks of turbine wheel into your engine

worth the risk of saving $500? probably not :rolleyes:

Totally understand.

Thanks for the info man :)

Just to add, there is no such thing as a bargain when modding a Subaru!

hmm nah there can be...

I ordered a full alloy polished radiator from eastern states yesterday $136 delivered

I picked up a free 3" tbe last night from one of the p-wrx guys

With my last rexxy I scored a VF22 off here with a snapped bolt for $450, got the bolt drilled out and a new one threaded in for free

If your on a budget and need shit this place rocks I think..a lot of good peeps willing to help a fellow niggah out :P

I'm talking new gear, second hand can be either good or bad. Interested to see the if a $136 radiator will keep coolant temps down over summer though. Then that might actually be a bargain.

Check it out....double the thickness, no plastic tanks
