Default Radiator blew. DelSol VTEC dual core questions.

My radiator took a nice sized rock thru the fins today, giving my tranny and everything else in it's path a nice bath. So now i'm in the market for a new one. YaY!

Since i cannot afford any of the aftermarket aluminum ones at this time, where did you get your DelSol VTEC dual cores from? Price? Will the stock single core radiator cap fit (Yes i'm cheap )?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jay

Visit your local junk yard. If that doesn't work try a few places online. I see them go on classifieds here at times.

Thanks boys.

I just ordered one from Radiators.com. $144.74 shipped to my door.

I still need to know about the cap though.

that's strange...

i'm 100% sure they wanted $225 when i checked the other day... they even showed me price on the screen.

AutoZone had to order it, but Advanced had it in stock.

Hmm... a stock cap should fit. I have a Spoon cap now and it came off of a single core radiator so I would figure caps to be the same.

You can also use the auto-trans rad. Its duel core. And the rad hoses will fit. I think the del sol dohc rad has bigger rad hoses. Next time ask for a auto rad.

all you have to do is give them the ph. # of a store that carries them at $99 and they will price match. At my store we sell the everyday for $99....AZ in wilmington, NC 910-251-1700

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JV &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">$99 would have been nice, but i don't think there are any Advanced or Autozones by me anyway. Just Strauss discount auto and Pepboys.

So does the Single core cap fit or no? I think i remember reading about someone not being able to use the stock cap on a dual core or something?</TD></TR></TABLE>

I picked mine up for $30 from a friend of mine that bought a Fluidyne......then I promptly sold my single core from my CX for $30
Gotta love trades like that.
