Default Where to get a new radiator from ? Ebay ones any good ?

Hi. As per title I need a new radiator for my 96 Sti.
Looking to upgrade it for aluminium one.
Don't want to spend silly money so was wondering if EBay ones are any good ?

Thank You

I bought a Tegiwa one direct from them. Was £150 and is an exact copy of the Mishimoto one which costs £289!

Cheers mate but I'm looking to buy a new one. Apriciate your help :-)
I've asked Matty and was told that OEM one would be absolutely fine. He has them in stock, new ones under £100. Is it not worth to ad another £30 and get the alloy one ?

I've got a Japspeed alloy one on mine.

It is wider than OE so if you have a FMIC then you will have to move fan or modify it so it doesnt rub on pipes.

I've got an ebay one on my bug and had no problems with it, had to cut down the top rad hose a bit due to the rad being a bit thicker.

Think it was about £70 or there abouts.

Thanks a lot guys. Will have a look.
Contacted Japspeed and Ed said they currently don't have any rads for Classic so will look into EBay ones.
Cheers

Hi there! We're actually selling radiators at the moment to suit classics on our ebay account for £75 at the moment, you can give us a call if you'd like to confirm this would suit your needs?
