WTB: WRX Radiator...i got the dreaded OE Radiator top crack :l

Hey all, I need to grab a radiator ASAP and I was wondering if anyone had one laying around. I have an 02 wrx wagon, and I would like something that isn't prone to said top crack age.

Hit me up if you have something. I'm down for upgrades too, just let me know what you have and how much you want for it.

I have the OEM one from my 02 bugeye, replaced it when I upgraded. Name your price and it's yours. Let me know if you're interested.

All Plastic Radiators will crack eventually. The aluminum ones will always hold better and last longer or forever if they're not defective or rub on something.

Go to ebay and get the CXRacing radiator. I've recommended it to and installed for several people and have it myself and have nothing bad to say about it. It's a great bang for the buck all aluminum radiator. Buy it from their ebay listing, not their website as they sell it for a lot more on their own site. Usually the ebay price is around $140 shipped.

Found it!

Cxracing Full Aluminum Radiator Subaru WRX STI 2002 2 Rows Dual Core 02 | eBay

$110 with free shipping.

It looks like a pretty solid piece too.


What would you guys suggest in regards to the supporting bits? Thermostat, hoses, and coolant. Reuse the original hoses? Get new hoses? Leave the thermostat? Put in a new one? What kinda of coolant is good?
