My last one needed me to file out the radiator fan shroud holes a bit to get it to line up.

Other than that, pretty straight forward fit.

Anyway, I will be getting a new radiator from ASI performance on eBay, they just keep getting cheaper! $170 with free postage I think it was. Throwing some silicone hoses for the TMIC on the order while I'm at it.

Then will be using only Subaru genuine coolant. It only gets dropped once a year or so, so getting it from Subaru (or possibly Covs) won't be that rich/out of my way.

Will also use the earth wire idea suggested, as earthing the motor itself was a great success overall too. Will probably chuck it on one of the radiator fan shroud bolts.
I did this about a month ago, i did not ground the unit the radiator though. The coolant cost nearly as much as the radiator. But since it has been up and running I have not had any problems what so ever.
