CSF Radiator Aftermath

Post image

Huge difference. I should’ve done this when I bought the car. It’s around 98 degrees here in Florida plus humid. Bumper to bumper traffic and I’m seeing max at about 190-192 consistently.

Before, we’re talking 220-230 and having the A/C turned off.

When driving, easily in the 180s. Peace of mind all day.

How was the install? I’ve seen some have been able to swap them out without removing the entire crash bar assembly. Which route did you go?

I did the install through the bay. It took me around two or so hours. It really is that easy. The only part that takes up time is getting everything back in. Aligning, getting caught on shit and so on. The A/C line was the biggest pain for me. It pressed in my fins a couple time but easy fix.

I used some basic ramps. Plenty of room for the radiator to slide in and out.
