Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM Toyota

I would bite the bullet and buy a Mishimoto all aluminum radiator that is literally plug and play, its way better than stock and there's no plastic to crack.

I have Mishimoto radiators in both my Miata and E36 and I haven’t had a single issue with either one.

Have had no issues w my Mishimoto radiator and it's been on my car for 2 years.

Replaced it with mishimoto and haven't looked back. Holds much more coolant that OEM and does a much better job cooling.

Replaced OEM with a mishi, Fitment is good part reason I went with it was I replaced the fans with mishimoto fans and it all slid in nicely

I put a Mishimoto rad in the R53 on the same terms as you @whalemingo - and only learned of Mishi's QC decline after I put it in the car. So far, it's been just fine.

Mishimoto, despite it being overpriced, does not have plastic parts.

I despise those mishi radiators they take up too much space. Makes it hard to do anything on the front of the engine without ripping it out.

Recently got rid of the mishimoto radiator and went back to the updated larger radiator

stay away from mishimoto, their radiator quality is sub par
