If you're ever thinking of autocrossing it in Stock, STU, or Road Tire SCCA classes, you have to replace it with a stock unit. The aluminum ones bump you into the expensive mod classes. You can get a good and cheap one here http://www.diyradiators.com/?year=20...4&ymm_lookup=+

I've bought replacements for a couple cars there, including a 2002 WRX and a 2005 Evo VIII. They look like stock but seem to be better, IMHO.

This is where I got my replacement radiator. Great price...Less than $100 shipped to my door...Still going strong after 2 years in use.

Koyorad's are also a good choice. Mine was about $380.

well, no surprise here. stock fan didn't clear the intercooler piping. god, I'm so aggravated right now. so for anyone wanting to buy this radiator, you've gotta buy the fan or else it's a no go.

I found this thread the day after i purchased my FBM radiator, and you had me worried. however i was able to bolt the stock fan right back up. it was a little tough like it would any new radiator but it does fit.

That FBM radiator is .5 inches wider than stock and my intercooler pipe already sits against the stock fan.

I just removed my full size CBRD rad with fan and I'm going to go in a different direction with the car. Fan shroud was nicely trimmed to fit around a 3582r.

PM me if you're interested.
