the top tank in my radiator cracked, i need this fixed as soon as possible. ive got a temporary fix with some fiberglass. a new radiator is expensive as hell. where can i get a new top tank? is it identical to a toyota camry? i probably have to take it into a shop for this repair. any sugestions?

Average radiator repairers in Oz seem to have the right top tank if they have any experience so try a couple around you. I do not know with what other Toyota models it is compatible.

Matt,
Mak Customs in Lethbridge has a front cut for sale. He may part the rad, talk to Anthony. http://www.makcustoms.com
Another option is to talk with Allen @ 4Kruzn in Ardrossan he is also parting a Wrecked Soarer, but that one has front end damage. http://www.4kruzn.com

The top tank is Soarer specific, but the top tank sealing O'-ring fits lots of different Toyotas.

I just bought one for my V8 from a guy on ebay. I paid around $ 170 CAD including shipping to my door from California. The rad is new and fit perfectly. If you want the info on this one, I'll send it to you. I had the same problem with my rad (split tank). Though this rad was made in china, it looks exactly like the original and weighs about the same. Time will tell though!

I believe the V8 & the TT 6 have different rads.

And welcome aboard Troy.

Just got new "high performance" aluminum radiator locally $250+taxes.

Works good so far.

Where abouts did you get the aluminum radiator from? Is the v8 soarer radiator any different from the celsior?

At local specialized shop from their stock, it was manufactured for "1992 Lexus SC400".
Let me know if you need a hand with it.

Attention Canadian Soarer Owners! You can buy direct replacement radiators for your cars from local suppliers! I've just replaced my radiator that had the top cracked tank with a Spectra Premium CU1305 from the local NAPA for $274 plus taxes. Fit perfectly and am running it as we speak!
