Went to get a final pricing to redo exhaust in 2" piping. Greene's in California said $1200 for piping only.

Gone back home to contemplate how to do this thing for cheap and i notice the top of my radiator seeping water. Mind you, this was not so just before i went by Greene...it WAS good... just effin half hour ago.

Anyways call all over lookin for a new rad as i dont want to use FU except as a last resort. No one have. Gone to mih regular parts place to arks the man if he could source one and lo and behold...he sells new radiators Shocked

He have for the BJ, B14,15,Civic etc etc all @ $1400 2 core metal.
Brand is GEW, an Indian manufacturer. Reputable Auto in Couva. If you need a new rad then this is an option.

So far so good. Made a San Souci run (and i come bak home to see nex Mazda run up San Souci Confused

) and no issues.

Brakes question now....

Raybestos Brake Pads....

Any good? i remember someone said they used them...Price here in Trini?

Also seeing Organic, Semi Metallic and Ceramic (most expensive) which is the 2nr recommendation?

u think a 2 core radiator will be better that the metal rad in a protege

2 core will work better I , more surface area to air ratio so cooling will be improved.
