That sucks. Sorry to see that OP, glad you got it figured out though!


Mishimoto seems to be a popular replacement, but use the excuse to upgrade rather than replace the stocker.

I'm just going to buy another OEM radiator for like $150 haha. Don't think I'll need the Koyo or Mishimoto

I invested in a magnetic grabber tool just to get those pesky bolts out from under the engine. I hate the undertrays on our cars, even though they are beneficial, it's just a pain when working on the car lol.

Holy cow batman!! $900+ for new rad? Is that the price before or after the ass rape?

Something you might want to do for a quick fix, depending on how big a hole you have, is epoxy pudy. It would buy you some time while you get a new rad.

Yeah OEM radiator is like $200 at most.. they wanted to charge $700 for the labor? No thanks!

That would have been a great idea regarding the epoxy putty, didn't think of it. I left my car at my father's shop yesterday while we wait for the radiator to come in.
