Thanks Im going to compression test it tomorrow and if it's fine then just go buy a wicked large aluminium radiator for it. I really didn't want to spend any money on the car but it looks like it's going to have to cop it. Radiator, coilpacks, spark plugs and 10psi here it comes.

Cant sell it, It holds too much sentimental value now =( I seen a nice red turbo manual one on gumtree for $7.5k ono, may be able to beat him down to 6.5k. Its pretty perfect for what I want, gets me to work and back and coppers dont even look at me much. I went 0-80km/h flat stick in leedy the other night and coppers pulled behind me (and I was in a 60 zone on-ramp to the 80km farmer freeway) and then just pulled up beside me and looked then dropped back and pulled off.... i thought i would be harassed in this car!

Found a CA18 one for $10... going to go pick it up in a minute. I think they will fit, just top two mountings are different. Speaker wire will fix this to get to work. Cable ties will fix this from work lol.

Thanks mate but I bought one today online for $220 delivered from Melbourne. Ying at http://www.yyautoparts.com.au/is a gem... she went to Australia post with the radiator today and got a quote of $150 to express it to me, and then went to fastway afterwards, sent it and sent me the tracking number. Same day, best service ever. I got the CA18 one in there and working for now to my amazement. Radiator I bought might be a cheap china one... but everyone knocked cheap china intercoolers and they do the job alot better than OEM.A $10 CA18 radiator bought at 10:30pm Monday night from SAUWA member... damn I love car club forums.Had a crack in it but I hi-temp araldite it closed and it seems ok for now...

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
