Busted my radiator on the trail yesterday

[twitchee2]

Heres what it looks like. What would you do? find the small leak and solder it up or would you just spend the money to replace it? I have done a trans cooler already so if i replace it, is there one that doesnt include that part which makes it a bigger radiator. anway here are the pics. It leaks from the the bottom right bent part haha.

Heres the leaky spot.

What would you do?
oh and heres what did the deed.

well there is definatly a time and a place to do that swap but at this point in time i dont have to the time to do it. i need my car back up and running. So what rad should i get? maybe a one out of a manual so theres no trans cooler??

I bought a replacement radiator from performance radiator for about 160. Has been doing fine for the last 30k miles. I read many reviews and performance radiator or Koyo seemed to be a good way to go.

E fans don't pull that many CFMs compared to the stock fan.

I recently replaced mine with a Koyo...seems to be of good quality. I purchased from radiators.com and it was hand delivered to me at work in a few hours.

Yes, get a 5 spd radiator, they're cheaper and a little smaller. I think Ron H. suggested that on a similar thread a while back and I remember thinking that's a good idea.

Got my rad it will be here tomorrow. No i gotta figure out the fan. Im really considering a E fan swap. Not sure what i should look for. a flex a lite but its almost $300. guess it might pay for itself over time and will free up to horsepower...
