Aluminium a little different than brass radiator...... Price seems to be rm800 for the aluminium on Mudah and a new 'normal' radiator costs RM500-600 depending on how many fins you wish to have...... 3 fins/columns pun boleh.... done in 'THE radiator shop' in Klang.

Some one asked for clarification : Aluminium is used due to its lightweight construction and a little to do with conductivity.....

2 row aluminium with 1" tubes = 5 row copper brass with 1/2" tubes

If copper do 1" tube it would have to be a thick wall too, the same with aluminium, but it would be too heavy laaaa..... something like that..... performance wise, you'll have a lightweight radiator if you take the same amount of fins/rows.......

MR2 standard is 2 row/fin only...... I doubt 3 fins can fit into the cramped area unless you move the aircond condensor away....

Just to note, For Alluminium radiators, owner has to be very careful of the coolant used.
Some coolants have properties or cleaning solutions that will cause the alluminium to corrode and leak. So have to be more careful with it.
I think the honda and mercedes uses alluminium radiator so their ori coolants should be alluminium friendly.
