New dude in VB

Whats up fellas

I've been around here in Virginia Beach for a while now, just never made it to the boards. For those who know...I used to hang out at Jenro's and when that died I started with the Giant Square thing, but it just never seemed the same.

Now I come out occasionally...you'll see me (or my wife) around. Black 92 Z/28 coupe.

I gotta be cheking the boards and doing some searching cause my damn radiator is cracked !
So if anyone wants to fill me on on an aluminum radiator swap job (like if its a diy job or whatever) feel free to let me know

later...

Welcome,

I and several others on the boards have Griffin aluminum radiators for $180. I'm very happy with mine.

radiator swap

measure the length and, width on your radiators core and , that will tell you which one to order . you can find a good deal in jegs.
for about $109.00 for a jegs lightweight radiator or a griffin for about $218.00.the griffin cools great

Thanks for the welcome, and the tips !

Shouldn't our radiators all be the same size?
And (for those who have swapped) did you replace your fans as well?

Hey Twelvz
I may be moving down to the VB area soon. I'm just waiting for my lease to expire on my current apartment.

Have you met Zepher yet? He's in the Norfolk area too.
