Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM Toyota

I usually Autox and track my rx8. My last event it was 90 outside and after fueling and a run my temp was only 205. I do have an aluminum misimoto radiator

Replaced it with that exact same Mishimoto rad and have had zero issues with the fitment or durability for 10+ years and 60k miles later. I believe I saved ~$600 or so by not pursuing OEM replacement.

I got the mishi rad and racing thermo in mine for vegas. Love it, no issues thus far after 2 years.

Later I came across a deal for a Mishimoto radiator and had that installed. I’ve had no issues with my Mishimoto, and I bought it before seeing most recommending the Koyo Radiator over Mishimoto.

In my particular situation I went with the Mishimoto radiator. Idk why it gets so much flak. Had no issues with install and it has been great. Now I use my 8 for autox so I needed the extra cooling. I can say that last weeks event it was 89 degrees out and even after a 2 hour drive and fielding for 4 mins to make my run; my ect was 200.

Shortly after owning it I had to replace radiator, Dan shroud. Then my power steering rack and CV died. Just recently my master break cylinder just died

Mishimoto is okay but it's fucking massive and requires more disassembly of the front end of the car to stuff it in there.

my Mishimoto leaked/falied apx 10-11 years after I bought it. and keep the receipt, or your lifetime warranty will not be valid

I bought a mishi three weeks ago, it arrived a week later, leaking. Two weeks later, mishi gave me a new one for free. Guess what.. it’s leaking too, from the welds at the neck. I gave up and had my buddy seal it up good

I just got a Mishimoto radiator for my V35 couoe, it doesn't fit for shit.
