The minute I get my car up on Jack Stands I hear the ominous sound of Thunder Rolling in, bringing none other that the infamous Florida Summer Rain Storm!
Waiting- Impatiently, I might add- is the wonderful Speed Monkey Racing Radiator:
IB- Rain when you don't want/need it sucks! I'm replacing my radiator because my stocker developed a leak. Instead of going with another stocker, I went with the Radiator I've been looking at for a long time.

Haha awesome. Yeah, I haven't seen many WRXs with Fire Plates on the front. Come July I'll have a Fire Plate for the rear as well, as Florida has a new Firefighter Tag coming out. Can't wait!
jwtarbaj- Exactly, we'll see if I notice a difference in Oil Temps. There's supposedly a 40% increase in cooling ability with this baby.

www.speedmonkee.com Great service, great products. And not that much more expensive than a new stocker. I also got the Crucial 160 degree Thermostat along with it.
I'll be sure to post pics of the install and my thoughts on how everything feels.
Pictures as promised of my Speed Monkey Radiator installed.

The install went smoothly and there were no hang ups. Look and feel is awesome. Adds a bit more bling to the engine bay. Cooling, I have no base line to compare to as I never took coolant temps with the stocker. However, coolant never rose about 170 when in motion and never above 205 when stopped at a red light. One thing is for certain, I have a larger margin of error when it comes to oil and engine temps.
