Rx8 radiator questiom

I broke the nipple off of my radiTor when changing the resevoir. I looked everywhere in town for a manuel radiator. I found an automatic one and everywhere I ask they said its fine. Is it ok in your guys opinion?

of course they gonna say it's fine, they want to sell it to you.

the automatic one has an extra tank for cooling the AT oil I think. why pay extra when you don't need it ?

You can get a Koyo for around the same price as getting a brand new OEM radiator. People said it causes overheating, but my opinion is that many people failed to transfer the sealing foam from the old rad to the new rad, which is the cause of the overheating. Cuz honestly I had Koyo and it never overheats.
