im guessing its a conversion??

best rad to use is the 2 ltr 8v one but you may need to modify the car to make it fit

i have a corsa redtop and that was using the 1.6 sport rad but ive done my headgasket now as the rad and fan werent good enough to cool the car so im going to be fitting an aftermarket one and making it fit
