Rating 4.0

And don't put the oem radiator in (it sucks). A mishimoto is 2/3 the price, will last longer (it's not made of plastic at the top -- that's why the oem ones fail) and it will actually keep your engine a little cooler.

Pros: lasts longer, keeps cooler
Cons: oem ones fail
Vehicle: Subaru Impreza

I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem

Pros: easy installation
Cons: external trans cooler needed
Vehicle: Subaru

  • Leaks:
Rating 2.5

The crap-tastic mishimoto MMRAD-E36-92 that I use these days do come with a lifetime warranty and I send them photos of the leak and they just send me a replacement in a week or so. I have purchased 6 of them and replaced 2 under warranty. The "Z3" raditator won't fit as its too thick, but the Z3 IS and e36 so its confusing.

Pros: lifetime warranty, easy replacement
Cons: crap-tastic, pinhole leaks, poor welds, Z3 fitment issues
Vehicle: BMW
Part number: MMRAD-E36-92
