if i was you i would kick your friends ass  :box:

he didn't mean to do it. i mean he wasn't fish tailing or anything he was just hauling ass up in front of me.


i found a PWR radiator on ebay for $399 is that a good deal?
No, I found a PWR from a sponsor with a better price  :thumbs:

warren, call the repair shop like these guys are saying. Takes ten minutes to get radiator out and take it in. I bet it can be fixed for way less than half of buying a new one. We used to get them done for $75 depending on the severity of the problem.


or...just stick some chewed bubble gum on the hole :lol: j/k

Could you be more specific about the PWR's efficiencies  ???

Warren

yeah i did have my radiator gaurd on. and a rock still managed to get in there. but i am going to get some stainless steel mess from work and zip tie to it. the mess has about 1/4 inch holes in it so it should flow good and it will be plenty strong. i don't care if it looks alittle  :fruity: i won't be having this problem again.


and i did take it to a shop yesterday. they told me it should be an easy fix for easily less then $50. so that good news. i should have it back by monday.  :clap:

to be honest, i don't notice too much of a difference except my fan very rarely comes on, you can just tell its made of thicker metal and looks alot higher quality, the only reason i bought it was because it was cheaper than a stock one but if my stock rad was still good would not have bought it and would not really recommend it (unless you have a crazy modded quad)

Warren

yeah i got the rad. fixed. it looks like shit and it cost me $20 to have this guy fix but whatever it's fixed. well that's what he said i havn't had a chance to put it on and try it out yet.
