Yea, it doesn't look that good, but this made a plastic welder with 18+ years of experience, so I believe it's strong.

You should have known that because the end tanks are in plastic. Total cost for this radiator + fan + welding is about 80$

Otherwise it's just good as it is, because its a dual core like that from b16a2 engined cars. Other d16xx have very thin(one core) radiators also that size.

You all must be paying to much for a radiator the last two i bought where 35 and 45. Both where dual core. Hell i even sold one and made enough to cover both. I say it will hold for awhile
