as the title states, i'm looking into a fully aluminum radiator for my '88 M3, possibly a 3 core instead of the stock 2 core, and the difference between US made and wherever these are made radiators are double the cost. i've even found 'em for sale for not a lot higher in cost than a stock plastic endtank type.

anyone have good or bad experience with Mishimoto all aluminum radiators? weld quality, fit, etc.?

Miata guys like them.

My buddy has been using one on his drift car forthe last two years with no complaints. Quality looks good from what i see. If they were available for my mx6 i would buy.

Pm me if you need a price, I think they are still shipped free.

I know their fans aren't worth bothering with. The rads are cheap though.

The rads are good. I ran one in my GSR and it was great. Have one sitting waiting to go in my next project.

I'm on my third season with the M52 in my E30 using this radiator, tracked it in 90+ weather down at summit point (with two drivers on one occasion) more than a few times with no issues, if you need a fan just spring for a 16" SPAL pusher and call it a day, the straight blade model will make a hell of a racket but it'll also keep small birds from flying away...
