That's a radiator for the automatic version, the bottom part is the gearbox oil cooler (ATF), ATF lines connect right up to those points.

Something tells me you do not have an automatic :?

yeah the transmission is cooled in the bit at the bottom - just fit a tube between the outlets if you cant find the right size bolts.

Should still work fine though. Just means the bottom section won't be used.
