Looking into a bigger radiator. Anyone ever buy one of those from ebay? Not talking about Koyo or Mitsimoto

Lol...I know I know...but even a radiator is that bad from there? Anyone have experiences?

Everyone says crap about the cheap F1 clutch kits on there but had a "stage 3" in my boosted CRX and it worked great lol

I've ran one in the civic before without issue

Mishimoto has had a lot of issues the only thing saving them is the warranty. The caps are junk and they have leaked more then a few times

Can't be any worse then mishi I'm pretty sure mishi is just eBay with a better warranty and mishimoto spray painted on the front.

I have a large eBay front mount heat exchanger. Which is basically a radiator.

No problems with that

I'm looking around for one too... but I'm looking for something that is 6 inches or so narrower than OEM so I could slip my intake tubing straight to the front of the bumper.

Ended up buying one. Paid $210 shipped for radiator, 2 slim fans, and shroud.

So it came in and surprisingly looks pretty decent. I'll update when the car is up and running.
