Was pretty easy to install!!! It was worth buying the universal. It was really easy to work with. I had to move the Fan a little over to the drivers side. I had to buy a resevoir tank cuz the factory one didn't fit. It was 8 bucks. Other than that it was pretty straight forward. I haven't ran it cuz Im missing a hose to connect to the resevoir. Ill post pics up when I get some. It was like 169 bucks. I also installed a shift light, and a NGK wideband
Installed Summit Radiotor!

My Fluidyne made things a lot tighter too. It made me nervous at first but I've never had any problems.

Well I took out the rubber pieces on thebottomandthebracketthatholds the resevoir down. Drilled to holes 1 on each side, put up a L braket on each hole. That held the radiotor from falling. And on the top, ok let me explain the best I can. I fit it under were the top of the bracket is for the resevoir bottle. On the the top part was like a extra pice of metal from the body. I twisted it up and just screwed it to the radiotor. Ill post pics. I suck at explaining

Im thinking about getting one of these. With it getting hot around here I need to find some way to keep my car under 210*
heres a quick writeup I did when I installed mine a couple of years ago:
"The size I got was the 28x19 but I dont see any reason why the 31x19 wouldn't fit. Taking out the radiator/fan/overflow was pretty simple. I made sure I cleaned the overflow real good because there was probably like 2" of sludge built up in the bottom of it! I also flushed the system before I put everything back together just in case. You only need a 1/8" pipe fititng for the overflow(costs about .59 cents.)The radiator fits in with no problems but like Slyvette posted you only use the top driver side bracket to hold it. You reverse the rubber grommet in the bracket and there is a hole on the driver side bottom near the radiator where it'll fit in with a longer bolt/nut. It was pretty stable with that but I put a metal bracket on top for some cheap insurance. Mounting the fan was probably the hardest part. I wanted it to mount flush with the radiator because otherwise the fan housing would be really close to the pulleys. Nothing the old sawzall wouldn't fix Just trimmed down each side a little bit and it fits pretty good. I used 2 heavy duty wire ties to hold the fan. The overflow went on the same way with really no modification. Since the radiator sits further out you just need a long bolt with a nut to hold the overflow to the bracket, or you can use a wire tie"
i'll try to snap some quick pics tonight when I have to put my bumper back on...

what about this one, direct replacement, over an inch thicker than stock (2" thick) and build "looks" good:

tjh, for that price, I'd rather stick to the Summit. I've never really heard of those radiators and they're coming off of ebay.....
