Up to you cos as with everything you get what you pay for. The larger capacity koyo radiator is favoured by most people but will set you back around £450

Koyo rads are ideal.

if its tuned go for a proper rad, i replaced mine last month with another standard one from autotorque as does me just fine, for 120 it will look good but dont see it doing a better job than a standard one

why you say that? you tried one? i got a "CHEAP" radiator from japan 5 years ago still goin fine runnihg 400+ no over heating problems at all an car is only ever tracked so well abused..
so unless you have had issues with them and not just her say then why post????????????

not really looking for anything better than standard really,if the ebay are as
good as standard thats fine.just need something to get me back on the
road.one option is buy ebay fit and run get original repaired or get a good
secondhand rad ,i except that you get what you pay for whithin reason
and that koyo are good but cannot justify paying £450

think you have miss read either my post or op.

what i have said is that if you have a tuned up high spec car you MAY want something a little more substantial like the one that has been mentioned for eg lee is running around 550bhp.

if not like i have said i dont see any prob with a standard rad like what i bought to replace mine which i punctured few weeks back.

as for the one on ebay doesnt look anything special so apart from looking good (not that you can really see it) i dont see it being anything more special than a standard one.

i have posted as it was posted in a general thread and not a pm.......
