Second thoughts, may not be a C20 radiator (definately for A15 though), either way, it'll either get soldered up by a pro or since I want to run an electric fan I can piss around with other hoses because there would be no fan in the way to get a diesel Corolla radiator in. Just a pain in the ass as it's my daily, need it to go to work... Spose the Mrs wouldn't miss her car.
I say about the diesel Corolla option, because A. I have one lying around and B. I'd read about it, on Trademe or on a forum in a B310, can't remember.
Rusty, you know my car isn't half assed, lil bit of goo will do for a while, it hasn't leaked at all so far. Although Ray did just give me a Dilmah tea box gasket for my carb.

Yeah I was thinking about how hard it is to do a thermo switch. How hard is to do rig it up so fan comes on by itself, say 80 degrees?

He's getting paid for the Silvia. I don't wanna pay lol.
What colour should I do my engine bay? Spotted some rust after I cleaned all the grime off... Just some mild surface shit, probably a result of a brake fluid leak/spill. I'm thinking engine enamel red.
