Which ebay radiator?

Hey guys,

while there's plenty of threads about ebay radiators having good success and having good luck in my Nissan days with ASI's (none listen for MX) I was wondering which radiators and which seller's people have had success with?

I'm specifically after one for my NA6 turbo which is primarily used for track and while I'd love to go crossflow like 949 ect but I need something asap as mine's just cracked :(

Looking at this but I'm gonna take a guess and assume they're pretty much all out the same chinese factory:

Will it just be track only or daily drive duties? If track only get a small thin one as when you get going there will be sufficent air through the radiator to keep things cool.

Nah, never daily. Used for track, hillclimbs and the occasional weekend drive. The price is very similar so figured I might as well go thicker as there's decent room as no aircon, aircon fan ect.

Asi used to make mx5 ones. I think cooling pro was the "it" brand before that.

That's right quite a few brands all come from the one factory

They all pretty much look the same haha. I'd grab a cooling pro but it's twice the price. I reckon I'll grab that worley one and put my savings towards a nice crossflow in the future. Hopefully with the reroute and some decent ducting it doesn't retire too soon.
