is there any aftermarket radiators for the mk1? and what are the hoses sizes/shapes for the mk1? i've seen samco kit for the mk2, but don't know if i can piece together something for my particular automobile. any one has any ideas? thanks

just use OEM hoses. it costs at least $300 for the Toyota hoses. and i wouldn't use anything else. this doesn't include heater hoses. i think there is a koyo radiator (no, not a bling one) that i've sourced for relatively cheap. besides, what is wrong with the radiator now?

nothing is wrong with it now, but i had problems in the past with the cooling, all fix so far, and i was just hoping i can jazz up my car a bit. thanks.

You've had problems with cooling in your MR2 or in another car?

my mr2, but i had it taken care of, it was just a hose leak and water pump, i took care of it good, i swapped another 4age cuz it had a few more problems, like oil leaks, and it overheated, and other stuff, like i said, i just wanted to be safe, dont want the same thing to keep happening, this engine has a pretty new water pump.
