i don't understand what you mean by "moded" but a Del Sol DOHC would do nicely with your car. Some people suggest that getting an all alumnium radiator would be a waste of money unless you have some sort of huge power plant under that hood. BTW your car rocks...paint job is awesome.

Go there and pick up a Koyo Del Sol dohc radiator...cheap and real good.

you dont need a different radiator.. The stock one does just fine. The engine is the perfect temp all the time.. it warms up fast then stays at below half. Just don't run it hard on really hot days.

That is what I used. The oem single core rad. was experiencing some core rot so instead of buying a new replacement...why not a new larger capacity one? Really the traditional (non aluminum alloy) rads. will do fine for street driving and some race use. I'd only move to an aluminum ally rad. if my car was spending more time on the track than the street.

Del Sol dual core is all you will ever need.

BTW. That paint job is awesome, is it original or was it re-painted?
