Heres another option for the 7g radiator. You can get a t-stat top off 4g63 hyundai. They have some kind of sensor there that can be removed and plugged with brass screw in cap

I got some custom decals made, but decided to install it after some 50 oz of coffee /not good idea/, now i have to order it again

2g radiators don't fit. The mounting tabs on the bottom are in the wrong spots. Galant radiators are wider by a couple inches.

We know... Me and him are trying to figure out a way to fab it to work....

If you look closely you can see I used the T-stat housing off the 2.4 engine and used the Galant radiator. It was very tight where the CAS is. I had to do some grinding on the housing to get it to fit. I also needed to run a coolant line to the turbo though so that meant some funky stuff going on on the back side where the bolt goes in. The sensor screwed into the top is for triggering my fans (the 1g ECU I'm on can't run them).

props man, but i'd be scared to even try running those on a street car.
Make sure you have tip top tires man.
With my RMDSM bar its the best I would ever want it to function. Its pretty scary when the rear end just kicks itself out on a hard turn down the side of a mountain. There is no warning lol. On a stock car you'll hear the tires squeal long before the traction breaks loose. With a big fatty bomb batty sway bar its pretty instant, one second you are hammering the turn, next second your butthole tightens up and you are trying to keep the car from being sideways in the middle of a turn. I speak from experience. Almost trashed the white car once or twice.
They are fun at low speeds though. High speeds(anything above 45, sometimes less with the right curve) they can be a bit unpredictable. Just be careful man.

i can back that up, even with my 18mm which is like 3/4 of the thick fat dicks you guys are running, it's pretty stiff back there.....i can't even imagine driving with either of your guys' rear bars
