Default New Radiator

Hey Guys,

I am in need of a new radiator after it sprang a leak on my ride home from work the other day. Just in time for the holidays! Anyways I can use the wife's car until I get it fixed. I have been looking around and I am thinking an upgraded rad may be a good idea.

I do go to the strip here and there and may follow a buddy around to autocross events this summer.

I stumbled across this: http://www.mishimoto.com/ford-mustan...er-manual.html and I really like what I see.

Does anyone have this radiator? I found it elsewhere for a pretty reasonable price.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Honestly I would get a stock replacement, the mishimotor doesn't respond the the chasis flex of the mustang well and cracks, same issues with the fluidyne.

I had heard this about previous radiators but this one has a stabilizer system with bushings to resist the flex. Seems like a really well thought out plan I was just curious if anyone was using one.

I had one of their 240SX rads in a car I used for rallyx a few years back and had no issues.
