You could talk to me about a GT radiator Leon , I have a collection at the workshop
EP82 Starlet GT club race car;
best time around Manfield to date : 1:19:91
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Contemplated it ... but then thought "nah, it's a standard car, it'll be fine".
Plus of course the fact that a replacement standard radiator was only $120, and it will bolt straight back into the car tonight made the call even easier.
Desperately want to run the Starlet at the autocross on Sunday, so time is of the essence.

Replacement radiator went in last night. Car now in fact running *slightly* cold. Will need to replace thermostat (again 
). Heater not hot any more, so now that's probably gunked up. Shall have to watch like a hawk and see if any bubbling happens, or if the radiator was actually the culprit.
Time and driving will tell.

Be sure with new radiator that the rubbish from heater core will not get into it and block it again. Best way is to remove both heater hoses, and plug a high pressure water hose in one side and watch all the shit coming out on the other side.
