Des Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 what is going to be done to make it do hektic dwipts? Hydro hand brake and thats it for a while, Slides pretty dam well. Better than my Corona ever did. This 3tc has torque to pull up hills in 5th and pass people. Quote

Des Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 Radiator is deffinatly blocked. I took it out and put it under the tap and the water came out the top tank before the bottom tank so yeah, $120 to get it flushed and new inlet/outlets because they are rusted out bad. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Ouch.. bit of a rip off. Should have upgraded the radiator entirely for around the same price. If they wanted $120 for that, then a similar shaped reco radiator may have been the go. Ah well, good when it is all going tops though :lolcry: Quote

Ah well, good when it is all going tops though :lolcry: I'm wanting to upgrade to a 52mm alloy radiator and a 16 inch thermo fan but that setup is about $650-$700 so it will have to wait till i get my Ae82 back on the road which wont be too long now hopefully. Its bolt in too, I hate cutting up the radiator support panel to fit larger radiators, Never looks good. Quote
Des Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 A $120 pull apart and clean turned into a $290 reco radiator. New tanks, New core new everything. Main thing is it doesnt over heat anymore. In the 1 hour thrash through the city i just gave it it just sat on 1/4 so I'm happy. Quote
