Radiator blew up, 6GC down - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #53151 15 posts Started by LewFX
ironically the same spot where my radiator just blew up is the same spot my celica died on me. 30 minute tow home, $150 koyo radiator to get, bought a new thermostat, gasket and antifreeze...$200 later..i gotta throw it on tonight and hope to get her going before the meet.
Woot for Koyo radiator!

Not so Woot for breaking down!

good thing the radiator is really easy to replace on our cars. we replaced mine in like 2 hours.
i didn't mind having to replace it i just wish it was on my own time frame instead of because of need.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
hour and a half for install with new thermostat and radiator, we are back in action!

how to? How many miles in your car.....

Im scared with 150. I should prophylactically change it i guess. I dont want to tow.

also did you buy the OEM KOYO?

Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
I would say around $300.
nice! back in action so quick. gj
Where did you find a Koyo for $150? I'm in need of one.
i called around and got one to price match another shop and then beat it by $5 bux

For a minute there I thought LewFX's radiator blew again haha.
