Default What radiator do you use?

Hello, i have a mx5 mk2 engine installed and looking to get a radiator next. But what car shall i take the radiator from? obviously it will need to be small and the pipes from the mx5 engine will need to fit onto it but i have read many different people using different radiators. So a quick shout from people already using a mx5 mk2 engine, and the most popular radiator will get purchased and installed :-)

I am using a Mk1 1600 and went for a polo radiator. Same as Skov. Have a look at my flickr photos. (below)

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
