Default Happy with my Mishimoto radiator

So i got my new Mishimoto 35mm radiator yesterday! It looks quality to me! I've heard others complained about the welds not looking clean. I don't have anything to really compare it too. But the welds look like they are gonan do their job. It's the same size as the Koyo and cost me $200 shipped off ebay! Came in the factory box and even had a sticker!! lol I guess if you are a stickler for name brands, and asthetics, then this may not be the one for you. But from a functional mind frame, i think this will be just as good. I don't have any pics right now cause i'm at work, but here is a link to their site. (bare in mind ebay prices are way less) It's also very nicely polished too!
IF i can get it to fit tomorrow (May not clear my Stillen pullies) I'll update on ease of install etc.

Just an update for those that care. I installed yesterday and all seems well!! Had to modify the brackets a lil where the AC condensor sits in front of it. Otherwise very easy install! I've never done a radiator before, and it took me 45 mins in and out! (except for the part where it took all day to purge the air from the system!! LOL) Quality piece. I'd say a very nice cheap alternative to the more expensive Koyo! $200 shipped in three days!! Can't beat it!!

Mishimoto has always had a good rep with the Mustang owners. Quality product.

Wow Addam, you're really doing a lot of work on your ride lately. Sounds like a great deal on e-bay!!

Yep, I am happy with mine so far also. I had it pressure tested as well and no leaks. I also have a buddy who is running one on his boosted KA 240 with no issues.

For $200 shipped I dont think theres a better radiator deal out there.

FYI for anyone running a Stillen kit, it clears the pullies with the stock fans and shroud with no modding. That was a concern when i first bought this. It's a tight fit. But it still clears. You Just have to remove and install the radiator and fans from the bottom.
