RacerX does the Genesis have the place for SAI?

So, my message didn't even get to any of you, that is fine, as the old saying goes, you can lead a Rover owner to water and they still dont get. You will a couple of years.

Yes.

I got the message, but radiators are one of those things that have been built since the beginning of the ICE automobile. Mine was a direct fit, I didn't have to modify anything, and it performs better than the likely stopped up stock radiator it replaced.

Also, I have two other Genesis radiators; one in my SHO (albeit an all aluminum version), and 3 years and 4 or 5 track days later, it hasn't skipped a beat, the other in my mom's XJ. They're both made in China.

They sell a good product so far, it would appear that I'm the first one to run one of their radiators in a Disco on here, so why don't we let the radiator's performance speak for itself, rather than speculate based on "Made in China" or "not made in Scotland".

Didn't mean to hurt your feelins mike it's just I'm a broke college kid trying to keep 2 discos running. Wish I could afford a top of the line radiator but its just not in the cards. I don't like to go with the cheaper items usually, but if someone has first hand experience and its good then I'll give it a try.

No offense, but the phrase "broke college kid" doesn't usually pair up with "2 Land Rovers."

haha none taken Michael. Gotta be honest ZGPhoto hit the nail on the head. I bought my 99 a little over a yr ago and driving in back and forth from Oregon to Arkansas I fell inlove with its dependability (well over 200,000 miles on it). So I saved up and bought a really nice 04, within 3 weeks it needed a new oil pump. At the same time my coil packs on my 99 bit the dust and a rear bag blew. Now that the 99 is back going I've got a clogged up radiator but just enough that I'm runnin 185 degrees with my thermostat hung open. And to top it off after replacing the oil pump I'm still running low pressure at hot idle...I was much better off financially a year ago to say the least.
