Chu, that looks great dude, good for you.

Dan, I don't think mine look that bad. I think mine look pretty good, esp for the price.

Exactly. I think the Mishimoto is a great buy for the price. It may not look perfect, but you don't have to worry about the endtanks leaking like my stocker did. Aluminum radiator ftw!

I didn't know the end tanks leaked on your stocker. next time we are on a road course toghther *cough* March *cough* I'm putting my EVOScan PPC logger in your car to log coolant temps. I want to see if those aftermarket rads cool better than stock before I pull the trigger. I was really surprised to see the OEM unit keep coolant between 180-190ish even after a 30 minute session.

Remember you kept smelling coolant from my car... The top endtank had lost the seal. It wasn't bad, never dripped, but the car only had 65k on it when that happened.
I'm all over that event, and I'm def game for logging temps at the track.

Thanks.

I've had my Mishimoto for over 2 years, and not a problem.

Are the canards ubertanium? If not, I don't want it.

I only changed my radiator cause it was leaking. Mine started leaking at the fill neck out of nowhere, one day. I was not going to pay for an oem, not could afford a CBRD at the time. Petey hooked it up!

Speaking of that, anyone have a pull-type slim fan sitting idle?

Chu i'm jealous, i like that HKS setup a lot especially since it seems you improved upon it with the mani, o2, etc.
Can't wait to see the #'s you make on e85 with it.

I pulled mine off around 65k to do the intercooler, and there was so much gunk in there. It's pretty rediculous. But I have a used Saiko Michi, and two new Greddys.
