Anyone else have a lot of dents on the radiator?
 

Did an oil change yesterday... I got to look at the car a lot closer than usual... I don't know if its my ocd about my brz or if I really should be concerned, but I noticed that the radiator had about 50ish small small dents in the fins, pretty clearly from rocks maybe very large bugs etc. Should I be concerned? Anyone else notice their radiator is taking a beating? Oh yah I have just over 4k on the odometer.

if it doesnt show any sign of leak, then i wouldnt worry about it unless it's really huge dent might cause leak in future

That is allot of dents for a few miles.

Get a radiator comb and fix them.

:word:

A picture would help show us how it looks. :)

good point! pic is attached

That is ugly for so few miles. I wonder how hard it would be to attach a screen in front of that.

hmmm many dents but they are small and wont affect. dont worry

yah... sad story I guess. On the positive, good thing i have a clear bra. If all that was hitting the radiator then... you get the idea. I just looked up how much a new radiator costs, only $170! I will hold off for now though, maybe in a year or two i'll do it.

Just checked and I only have one small dent on my FR-S radiator.

do you follow closely or drive on beat up roads a lot? If so, might want to increase your following distances, you're picking up a lot of debris.

That's the A/C condensor, not the raditator....

Looks a lot like my old stock EVO intercooler, plenty of dents. Unfortunately it's mostly luck.

i live in san jose as well and commute to cupertino and sunnyvale... i barely have any of those dents
