I'm thinking GDB will be very similar. Basically anything with the top hose entering the middle of the top tank rather than the RH side.

What about the WRX V5/6's of the same year as the BH Legacy. They should fit, but would pay to trial fit it first if that's possible

EDIT: Actually just looked at pics on trademe, seems the V5/6 WRX's have the same radiators as the earlier ones, so you would need a GDB one.

Its abit to get the end tanks done but it would pay to get both redone with new seals etc.
When mine went it was the one that hardly ever goes. Think its the right one?

mine is the drivers side that is split, they said about $200 for end replaced and core cleaned

cos ya can only really get fan plugs from under and pulling bottom hoses off is a stretch... (also remove overflow bottle 1st)

never removed that, i did end up jacking car up so i could save the anti freeze from going everywhere, pretty easy 2 remove tho, just took abit for it all 2 drain as was on a lean

Seriously, just get an alloy one. No more split or leaking tanks then.

i would like too but $3-400 is alot when saving for a wedding and paying for a house, myt just have 2 wait

what would i need? just ring redline and tell them what im after

found a ver6 sti 1 for $100 as he has a alloy 1 now, so thats another (cheaper) option

Cheapest ones I've found are $288 inc GST from STA Parts. I'm sick of split end tanks and Id seriously recommend you get an Alloy one if you don't want any future hassles

You're looking at spending $220ish on one with plastic tanks. I got my alloy rad for only $50 more from Luxury Sports. They sell on Trade Me too.
