    broken rad, upgrade time?

    The snout on the top of my radiator is cracked, and it appears to have spreayed coolant all over the inside fo my engine bay. I will repair the radiator with a repair kit made specifically for this (uses an epoxy). The question is when I replace my radiator somtime in the near future should I get another 318 one or should I upgrade to a 325 one so that I can have an overflow tank and better cooling? Would it be at all benificial to do such an upgrade?

    Unless you have an m10 race motor, and you're at the track every day, don't bother.

      Don't waste your money. Get a stock rad for it.

      Common sense- It's the new 'gifted'

          Get a stock one - save your money for Euro bumpers instead.;)
