I completed the change out of the radiator in my '00 GTS yesterday. I used a pit at a local oil change shop and the job took right at 50 minutes. One note I should make regarding the upper attachment points for the radiator. The Ron Davis came with no mounting hardware, the presumption I am sure was to use the take off fasteners from the OEM piece. This worked fine for the fan studs. This was not the case for the two studs that face forward and hold the radiator in. On my OEM piece the studs were welded on. I went to my local ACE hardware and picked up a couple 40mm bolts and used them to secure the radiator. The job overall was a piece of cake. No mods to any part of the car, and the car cools very fast now. I should have done this a long time ago.
