Hi,

I'm located in Canada and need a new aluminum radiator for my TT Soarer. I'm wondering if the Supra radiators fit and if I'll need to get a trans cooler?

I heard that if I have a manual Soarer, the trans cooler is not necessary. Is that true?

Please help me, my radiator crapped out on me for my 8th lap around the track

Many here cheap.

Try JAR (Just Aluminum radiators) maybe?

I remember a good one on ebay that many people are happy with, could be the one Neil posted.

You can use the SUpra alloy radiators. They are a smidgin too short, but my radiator specialist said you just put a second rubber insulator/spacer on the bottom. All the rest of the hoses and fittings are the same.

You don't want the Transmission oil cooler if you have a manual.

I bought mine on EBay from bnw. They don't have any on ebay.com.au at the moment but this one

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/91-00-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR-LEXUS-SC300-TOYOTA-SOARER-JZZ31-/270516220789?cmd=Vie wItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3efc05f375

looks exactly the same as mine but it's a 52mm core which from my measurements won't fit without some modifications. Try contacting the seller (radiatorwarranty) and ask them if they have one in 28mm or 40mm core. They ship worldwide from china so postage shouldn't be an issue and despite what people say, they are very good for the money.

I just bought a Mishimoto radiator. It should come out to $350 shipped to my door. Yes i'm from Canada :-)

So maybe I won't be able to get the same products as you.
