I don't think you're suppose to PC radiators, unless you just did the top tank and not the fins section.

Top and bottom tanks, not the fins, you are right.

This might not look like much, but on a flat polished surface it stands out like a sore thumb.


When ive spent so much time energy and money on trying to make the rest look tidy uts not good enough.

I often wish I'd stayed supercharged, a lot less hassle than a turbo.Superchargers are a lot more popular than turbos in the uk.I fitted a supercharger and had it up and running in a week.This build with all the extra jobs is coming close to 2 years now, I still think the supercharged engine is a far neater and altogether more complete setup than a turbo.

forgot you had tts I believe?lost my first s earlier this year after the diff locked up on decal in a bumpy part of the highway spun and hit a tree in the rear got most of my go fast goodies comptech supercharger and after cooler header wideband oil cooler test pipe emu and injectors. I got money back after the car was totaled. so picked up an 01 with an f22c motor swap factory hardtop ctsc comptech bembo brake kit titanium strut bar comptech chasis braces and adjustable upper ballpoints going through the diff myself beefed up main caps solid pinion spacer kit polishing the gears hoping to never have to go through that again I think the diff will be good for 450 hp 300 ftq redoing the fuel system bought an overdrive crank pulley from 99sh and plan to run 9-12 psi running id 1000's aeromotive 340 fuel pump and areomotive fpr aem water meth and aem v1 ecu installing oilpan baffle titanium retainers amuse hood gtc200 wing apc front bumper car is black with black enki pf01 black 17-8 +50 17-9+60 falken aziens super sticky also tein flex coil overs with remote control unit cusco sway bars its a mess but should be a fun and reliable car for years to come looking into traction control thinking of doing a diff build thread as I want people to be able to save money and build a reliable diff to begin with its not hard to get the turning torque and backlash set when you start close will see . I did what I recommended when you got the fullblown radiator I welded up the small dints sanded them down and repolished looked great but this car has the mishimoto and no dents so a friend is getting my spare comptech supercharger and all the other goodies and pay me to do the work I guess I will be fresh on the work at hand the diff upgrade is going to run right at 600$ which people should know about just not sure where to post it anyways will stop type rambling its late and have been polishing for hours KIRK OUT

Whooh, that PC'd top tank looks damn proper. Nice call; even if it was to cover up finish quality on the radiator.

got my fullblown radiator. showed up with the box looking like a fork lift drove through it. I filled the radiator up with water and it didn't appear to leak but we will see once I put in coolant and get it under pressure. I pm'd fullblown and wasn't offered a replacement or partial reimbursement, i was told we would have to file a claim with fedex. I think sending me a new radiator and filing your own claim would've been the best solution for me as a customer but not every business believes in treating the customer like they matter.

we will see how it holds up but the guy who said if it doesn't show up scratched and dented it insn't a fullblown. Thats true, bent fins and not the best looking radiator. shoulda gone mishimoto.. I ordered their fans and the packaging was as nice as the fans themselves
