What are you guys running for rads? looking for some options and reviews...thanks

I just recently got a mishimoto for my rebuild. Read that they did some redesign and added a fin at the bottom to prevent any flexing (limited of course). Give chris a call at stage 3 and he can get ya a better price.

Is there a Reason you guy's are swapping out the Stock Rad..... Other than it got Damaged or something? Reason for asking is to find out if there is a known problem(s) with the Factory radiator? Thanks

I swapped mine out after my wreck.

A lot of times the guys running boosted engines will up grade because of the extra heat produced.
Others will upgrade because they live in the south and the ambiant temp is often 95*-100*

The stock one is good for stock motors just about anywhere really. I live in hellishly hot Texas and drive in bumper to bumper traffic with a stock radiator.. no problems. AutoX runs can be a problem though.

Mine held up just fine in phoenix. Its not a performance upgrade until you get into higher hp territory where it is needed. If anyone replaces it with a fairly stock motor its just because they have too. I put a better one in because I do plan on going for some kind of boost later and do not plan to sell the car so I want it to last, and like to collect things with lifetime warranty's because of this.

Mine was fine on the street, but a track day not so much.

I bought a ZAP off ebay for about $200 shipped, and it's been holding up fine. I've been happy with it.
