4GREEN GRAB BAG

[F3BZ]

2 door belts are way gone. 4 door belts will work w/minor mod but be aware Pride belt tongue won't fit Festiva buckle so you have to get the complete Pride set up, center LH & RH

Anyone have luck maybe getting front manual seat belt assemblies?

That may be fine, im not sure, but their designed for 20 psi max, not 75.

I was thinking that there was a closed loop tubing like I'm familiar with on older radiators. Looks like that's not the case.

the mounting points and brackets are the same all 5 years so yes it'll fit. it is thought that the main difference from 80s to 90s rads is having gone from brass tanks to plastic.

I'm considering getting one - will it fit in the OEM location or will I have to change anything? '89 festiva carby

Not engine oil though.

Not enough flow?

I am not a fan of crimped-on plastic reservoirs.
I have one that looks nice and new but still has an annoying leak on the top seal.
I have another rubber gasket, but haven't bothered to get adventurous.
Give me a soldered brass rad any day.

the width between endplates is 15 1/16". the height between top and bottom tanks is 12 5/8". 1" thick. i think the MT rad is 3/4" thick.
there were 4 possible radiators installed in festiva from 88-93. they were dependant on what trans the car had, AC wasn't a factor

by contrast, Kia shows 9 different Pride radiators globally. not all are available, nor would i want to buy more than one to find out so i decided that logically, the one installed in their heaviest model with AT should have the most heat transfer capacity.

the one i bought is $171 plus $32 shipping via Korea Post. pricey? ya. not being stranded like my uncle in his turbo stiva between FLA and PA due to a failed Leek Goo brand Chinese bargain rad? priceless.

That's cool and you can use the auto cooler for an oil cooler.

this should be the highest capacity factory rad Kia put in the Pride. it is the replacement listed for the big Kombi Wagon with AT. they were probably the heaviest of the Pride models and came standard with 13" tires. the rad is an even 1" thick.
the price is twice what some pressed bamboo China knock off would cost but i'd rather pay for OEM quality. also, helping to sooth some of the bite, it comes with mounting bushings and rad cap. choose Korea Post. it only took 10 days.

How does it compare with our typical automatic radiator?

Very nice! Could you post all 3 dimensions of just the core itself? Id like to know how the volume compares with the chinese one i bought. And what was the price?

OK. I see what you are looking for now. I know I have a RH one, but I'll have to look and see if I have a LH from a jy car I stripped, if no one else has something.

Thanks Jim..
