Mishimoto Radiator
 
Hey everybody,

I am looking to upgrade my rad to a Mishimoto unit and I was wondering if anyone has installed one on their car. I hear really great things about their no-questions-asked warranty and their customer service, but haven't heard much about their actual product for the RX-8. If anyone has any experience with it let me know, it is much appreciated.

Someone has it, You can search.

and Warranty is ONLY 1 year.

This car's radiator is pretty tricky. So its not just "up the size" and u will get better cooling. stock Radiator is actually not bad. Even tho its all plastic on the side.

If you want Upgrade, Get BHR/Griffin or Mazmart/Ron Davis.

Or you can try some Japanese ones, but the price alone will rape you.

Just because I'm new doesn't mean I don't know how to search. All I found were threads about their intakes and vendor threads selling the rads. Regardless, I'm upgrading because I am looking to boost in the near future, my local shop suggested the Mishi rad but I just wanted input from actual RX8 owners who ran it.

Well for anybody who is interested when I called to order they told me they were giving one away for free! I thought I would pass this along on the forum, all you have to do is enter your e-mail.

^^thanx bud:wavey:

they seem really cool... couldn't ask for a better product for free!

looks like i may end up with this, if no-one has already made contact with them right after you made this post.

this made my day worth getting on the forum. for some free stuff:)

wtf, lol!... its kinda funny after looking into the parts. the free radiator is only a display unit to hold business cards.

well...due to its smaller size, it can be modified into smaller cars maybe???

whatevers... already signed up anyways:dunno:

lots of good advice here. all the other aftermarket rads have shown to be the same or worse than the stock one.

beers :beer:

Yup, sent them an email. Hoping the club will have the answer faster. We are pretty damn awesome sometimes.:fingersx:

Did a quick search and didnt come up with anything specific for the Mishi Rad.

What about the rad is not sitting right?

mike0615 06-17-2009 04:05 AM

gonna get pics tomorrow. unfortunatly i'm car parts retarded. I can drive the shit out of it. But for the fixing and installing, I need help.

PirateARRRX8 06-17-2009 12:59 PM

Definitely post up pics. Mishi has a good reputation for customer service, so they should be pretty helpful as well.

c41250n 06-29-2009 02:56 AM
