Radiator for IS200 - 16mm or 26mm?
Radiator for IS200 - 16mm or 26mm?
I need a new radiator for my IS200. My stock rad is 26mm in thickness, but I see that replacements are offered in both 26mm and 16mm, and indeed Lexus have those two sizes themselves.
Mine is an early car (manual), I wonder if they changed to 16mm later just to save some money/weight?
Does anyone have any experience of swapping a 26mm for a 16mm, i.e. whether it was up to the job? The 16mm ones are cheaper of course!
$&%-$+$* me, you're alive?
I'd go for a 26mm mate. Or even better splash out on an alloy one!
Welcome back btw
Thanks Stav. Yes, I would ideally like to go for the lovely shiny alloy one on eBay, but the trouble is that it's even thicker (45mm), and I imagine it might be a pain to fit with all my intercooler piping in there.
welcome back mate you could buy an alloy one and there are enough of us at JAE we could try and fit it there as i take it you will be joining us
Hi stevie. Any more updates?
I won an ally rad on eBay for 92quid delivered...
Looks the tits and does the job perfectly.
