    If you want to wait there are people trying to get a big group buy on the koyos together at some point this winter.

    Seriously, if you get screwed on eBay, it is because you are stupid and shouldn't be allowed to use money. If you need pointers on how to use eBay, I can talk you through it. The best price I've seen on eBay for a Koyo radiator was for 380 shipped. (which it appears Erik has also found.) Good luck finding that anywhere else. I haven't found it yet.

    I haven't been screwed yet, thank god. But again I've sold more than bought. $380 shipped is a good price. But if a Shop will charge me $390 shipped $10 difference...I'll pay the difference just to have that peace of mind. But again, I'm just Loco with an Anteater

    thanks for all the quick response fellaz what i thought was a small leak in my radiator turns out to be my cap not holding pressure and the small hose from the top radiator going into the 2ndary turbo resevoir was leaking but when i tighten the hose i thought i broke the plastic piece on the radiator i swear i heard it crack...but i check it out today and it seems to be fine but i still need to replace the cap.

    But if you guys are having a group buy on radiators count me in i alway wanted to upgrade my cooling system with all the heat and craps that goes on in my engine bay... :biggthumpup:

    ROFL, you must have a huge anus. LOL. VividRacing is well known for being a dirty vendor, sheisting their customers, and poor excuses.

    BTW, if you are completely new to the Subaru community, please visit Nasioc and look up VividRacing in the Vendor Forum...it is the only thread on there that says "No longer a Nasioc Vendor" on it. You get to read everyone's accounts on how they have been ripped off, charged shipping on items they never recieved, charged 'restocking fees' for stuff Vivid never actually had in stock, sending people junk Agency Power injectors instead of the Perrin injectors that the customer requested and paid for, then telling that customer (who was SPONSORED BY VIVID!) to pound sand when the crappy Agency Power injectors failed and dumped fuel into one of the cylinders causing it to lock and destroy the engine. They assumed no responsibility and knowingly sheistered a sponsored customer by sending him cheap chinese injectors.

    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH VIVID RACING!!! And Agency Power is VividRacing's aftermarket knockoff junk namebrand. They make chinese knockoff replicas of alot of Perrin and Kartboy stuff. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

    Pretty much just Vivid. Also, I personally blacklist that Xcceleration.com site. They have the WORST prices EVER for alot of things. And they got busted on ClubWRX or IClub (cant remember which one) for spouting bogus power claims.
