There are 2 issues that spring to recommendations in this. On is the coolant sencor for the fan. even though it look artwork with interior the temper variety of 210 and 235. however the temper does not drop. yet not reducing off. If this with the AC on while get to 210. If is post to run with the A/C fan. That go away with a radiator that been in front of three engine now. maximum probable it fairly is partly supply up up and might desire to be roded out. The A/C uniom wash with a hose and a few tension at the back of it to scrub the only out. are not getting to close with a potential washer. reason it may harm if to close. The radiator fins would be warm tank to get rid of all the drit beffore it fairly is roded. If not the middle would be replace or a sparkling radiator.

Base model is sohc, SL is dohc. VR4 is dohcTT. VR4 is high 14's, dohc is high 16's to 17. With car prices being low, I would look for a low mile VR4. you should be able to find one pretty cheap and its already pretty fast without any work, where as the sl will need some performance parts to improve it
