Hey guys, my radiator has developed a nice crack in it and I was thinking about upgrading to an alloy rad. The only B4 alloy rads I can find are on ebay which as far as I can see are no name brands but I was wondering if a wrx/sti gdb rad would fit to the B4 with little if any modifications?
Something like this: https://www.mishimot...adiator-01.html
Id appreciate any ones thoughts, thanks.

The GD wrx/sti is a close fit but needs the top mounts changed to fit,
I was told this once by the B4 master repairer Kong.

I recently had my radiator develop a nice crack in the plastic. I looked at alloy radiators as well (including mishimoto) but in the end I decided it isn't worth it. You'll pay a good deal extra than a regular radiator. My last one had a sticker from 2003 on it, so I expect to get over 10 years out of the new one.
The install wasn't hard, however as Becker's says I had to swap the top bracket from my old radiator because the top mounts on the new one weren't the right size. From memory it was only two screws holding the top bracket on.
