Need a recomendation for a new radiator.
I guess or rather hope the third time is the charm. Two mishimoto radiators that I have owned, both had leaks. My second one which I already patched twice with JB weld sprung a third leak, this one is not fixable being somewhere between where the fins meet the end tank. The first rad had a leaky filler neck.
Anyway, I need to buy a new rad, forget this noise with mishimoto.
I need something else.
What do you guys recommend?

All I know about is Godspeed, Koyo, CXracing, and Mishi.
I have no idea who else makes radiators.
All except the Koyo are identical, except for the name as far as I know.
How much did you pay for it?

So its either 133 for one from Radiator barn, or 165 for a CXracing.
What do you think I should do?

I like my radiator barn radiator. It's a lifetime warranty radiator too. Mine came quick, packaged well, fits perfect, better than OEM quality IMO, and has worked flawlessly for 2 1/2 years. I'd recommend it.
What happened to your old radiator? Can't just put it back in?

I have very limited space in my garage, and I junked it after all my initial problems with the second radiator went away.
The lifetime warranty is a very big PLUS considering how much luck I have with this crap. I think I will pickup one of these if I cant think of something else.
Mind posting some pictures of it?
What about the egg trick? Think I can try that for the time being?

Its also coating the underside of my car in antifreeze, and thats pretty nasty.
What about pepper? Turns out that can be used to fix a leaky radiator.
