    hey guys

    I recently bought a 56mm radiator and now im in the market looking for a transmission cooler as my zed is an auto.

    I was looking on ebay and wondered what you guys thought of these.

    also how many rows do you think I will need (ie 7 row, 11 row or 15 row?)

    I have one very similar to the first one (not bought for gearbox though) it has AN fittings on it which can be a pain for normal hoses.

    The second looks pretty good, PWR are a top brand.

    i know strom put a 30 row cooler in his car. jameszx now owns it !! :D:D:D

    u may need 2 run new oil cooler lines (3/8ths size) and remember 2 reinstall the restrictor into the return line !

    dont buy a new one from ebay OR supercheap OR anywhere like that.

    I went and picked up a huge one from a VT commodore for a mates r33 from a wrecker for 35$, PERFECT condition, no bent fins AT ALL, ****ing huge thing, brand new condition ( apart from the oil ).

    just go to a wrecker, spend that saved money on fuel or something.

    If you want the baddest thing out there ->

    I would check out a McCollough radiator. It's a dual core, similiar to what you are looking for but to the extreme.

    Check out SPLparts.com in the cooling section. Amazing piece of work.
