AnyOne with KOYO radiator?

Have you noticed any major differences? Did you get a new Rad cap?
Ive got one coming and was also wondering what coolant you used for it. I am guessing the same stuff that Mitsu recommends. Did you change out the Thermostat or keep the original one? What about pipes too?
Thanks
AUS

Got it in my car!

Weight its more like 3-4lbs

Im using the Stock 1.1 radiator cap and its about a 5-15 degree cooler than stock!

But then i replace the radiator w/ Samco Hoses, and Ralliart Theromostat.

guys...how much room do you have between the back of the Radiator and the turbo heat shroud. I put mine in tonite and it was a real tight fit. Im a bit worried that it is too close.

do you have a pic looking strait down between the Rad and the heat shroud? How hard was it to get in there? How much room do you have between them?
