Fan blades gone...

When I got home from work today I was putting more washer fluid in the car and noticed it smelled like coolant under the hood. I looked down and the bottem of the radiator had a "puddle" of coolant sitting on the bottem ledge of the radiator. Then I saw the radiator fan and all the blades were broken off and missing. I couldn't find anything that was in the way of the fan that would have caused this to happen or any signs of the blades hitting things under the hood...

Anyways, I guess now i'm in the market for a new radiator and fan. Everywhere I've looked sells Koyo ones, but I've never heard of that brand (maybe because I've never looked for an aftermarket radiator before)... anyways, how are they? Also, would a 12" fan be suitable for a daily driver evo that might see the track twice a year? Or should I go with the 14"?

Anyone know of a cheap place to get these at? lol

Thanks

That sucks, the stock radiator is a Calsonic and they run about $800.

I don't know about radiators, but SPAL makes some fans in several sizes/CFM rates. You want the "pull" style;
