No. There is no other vehicle that uses the same radiator. This question was asked only a week or two ago and could have been quickly answered with a search.
Another radiator could be made to fit with fabrication, but you can get a new replacement from rockauto.com for under $200.

Not true, the rad from a 626, mx6 and probably probe will fit with a bit of modification. You'll need to trim the upper rad support around the plastic reservoir, you'll need the lower rad hose with the T connector from the donor car, and the drain screw will dump coolant on the frame under the rad, but everything apart from that is perfect. You can probably run a thin hose to drain it properly, but I was lazy.wytbishop wrote:No. There is no other vehicle that uses the same radiator.

I've had a 626 rad on my car for a few months now without problems.

He said it could be made to fit with fabrication, which is exactly what you had to do.
Re: radiator for a mx3 v6 will another type of radiator fit
I wouldn't call what I did fabrication, fabrication would mean making your own brackets and everything, the only modification I did was trim the rad support.

Are RS and GS rads the same?

HA! I laugh in the face of your semantics! There is no other vehicle that uses the same radiator. True story.Mad Cow wrote:I wouldn't call what I did fabrication, fabrication would mean making your own brackets and everything, the only modification I did was trim the rad support.

I know it's not the same, but it's barely different. But don't you agree with me? Just look up the definition of fabrication.wytbishop wrote:HA! I laugh in the face of your semantics!
