I've had 3 different friends buy Shittymoto rads and each one of them failed in only a few months of ownership (daily driven and show cars). Two friend switched over to Koyo and ARC, and have had no problems since, but a third friend went and bought a second radiator from Shittymoto only to have that one fail as well. (After a third one was put in, the car was sold, so I have no idea what the status is on that one.)

Also, almost all Mishimoto stuff used on the drift cars in Formula D are Koyo products passed off as Mishimoto (This was several years ago. Not sure about the current state of things, but wouldn't surprise me at all if it was still going on.)

How did the two radiators fail? Was it the same issue or completely different?
