How about the one in your car?
I just replaced this one:

with the one in this photo:

I didn't realize that the old one was so clogged up with mud until I had
taken it out, by that time I already had the new $140 aluminum radiator,
and since I don't trust plastic tank radiators (I've had two blow up on
me), particularly 17 year old ones with 200,000 miles on them, I went
ahead and did the swap.
The swap proved to be more fun than expected. In short the radiator
*nearly* fit. Actually the radiator fit in the car just fine, it's just
that the mounts for the fans were probably for another model of Impreza
(WRX?) and I had to do a bit of improvisational engineering to get
everything to fit properly, including trimming the fan shrouds and
fabbing a hi-tech bracket:

The other problem I had on my last venture to Thunderhill was my brakes
getting too hot and becoming significantly less effective after a lap or
so. I've attempted to remedy this with some brake vents:

Also suggest you fill and hang a couple canvas water bags on your car's bumper.
(No way you'd
remember those, I'm sure) :-)
Not exactly an ideal solution for out on the track.

Hmm, I'll be in willows on the 22nd, I guess I'll get to test out my new
radiator.
