GreenState Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So, in a moment of bad judgement, I added this product to my MSA order: Stock Replacement Aluminum Radiator & Dual Fan Package, 70-8/74 240Z-260Z for $429. Seemed too good to be true... It showed up and it's a POS Champion brand economy radiator that looks like a child made it in poor light with inappropriate tools. Probably works, but it's not going in my car. Had I known it was a Champion, I wouldn't have ordered it. You can find the next step up from this on eBay for $229. So I sent it back, but I'm out almost $100 in UPS charges. Hopefully this saves somebody else the mistake I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yep, you can tell by the pictures that most of MSA's radiators are Champion brand. I'm using a 2-row, "ebay-special" Champion that I got for $140 new and it works great. My only complaints are that the mounting flanges were slightly bent when I received it (it's soft Al, easy to fix) and that the drain plug will drip a little while after draining and refilling.

GOTHALOSISM Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've heard the CRX racing 240sx radiators are almost bolt in and are a great quality. Plus the fact you can find them for around $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire604 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for the heads-up. I had been considering this very purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
