Hello

I recently bought a '91 FC T2 and while it's good fun driving it as it is I would like to start changing some bits. In the US there's quite a few shops selling some very nice stuff, but shipping it over adds between 50 and 100% to the selling price (due to shipping and tax).
I've already found a couple websites, like RX motors, WGT and Rotechnics, but can't seem to find the parts I'd want first, ie. full Racing Beat exhaust and Fluidyne or Koyo all aluminium radiator.
Anybody have any websites where I could locate these parts?
thx

Found the Benelux distributor in the mean time and I can order the Koyo aluminium radiator through him. These are (almost) direct fit replacements for the stock plastic one.
I'm waiting for the price quote now. If other people are interested, there's also a UK distributor for these radiators. If I can find the address back I'll post it here.

yeah m8, please post it here....

shipment costs from the US to Germany are 150 USD.... I will be in the UK at about 16 of August, and would like to buy 2 or 3 rads...

So maybe we can go for group buy!

Thanks and REgards,
Iwan

I Bought a KR2D rad form the US, it cost $400 + 120 shipping.

If you can get hold of one i strongly recomend them, they are very well made and have a Massive core.

Any modifications needed to fit these K2's?
Or are they a direct replacement for the stock version?
Do you know how big the core is? On the Koyo it is 53mm, the Fluidyne's is 38mm.

Sorry you do have to move the Battery! i forgot with doing so much other stuff at the time i fitted it.

But the K2RD is THE biggest Alloy rad you can buy for the FC.

To be honist i Dont know becouse i have fitted FD Electric fans to it.

If you are only running a Stock T2 then stick with the smaller ones, As i say it is the biggest you can fit in a Fc ft end without cutting but there is no point if you are not going to use it?
