I fitted a mishimoto evo 8 radiator to my hyundai coupe about two years ago.

From what i could tell it was perfectly fine looked well made although the fins were easily bent but i suppose thats the same for all rads and was still on the car when i sold it.

I'd buy again for the right price if i needed one.

I've got a Mishimoto catch can and the build quality is 1st rate so if their ally rads are made to the same quality you won't be disappointed.

They look nice, I used an alloy radiator on my Cavalier Turbo and ended up on my 3rd due to the welds cracking, Now that's not the Mishimoto brand but I'm just making the point (devils advocate) that sometimes whoopy doo bits can be more hassle than they're worth. That said these look very nice and I must admit I'd be tempted to buy one.

Their products are just like those from Radio Shack. Imported crap with a lifetime warranty.
My own experience with both companies justifies this very negative response to the thread.
Have a radiator shop solder one up for you. At least if that springs a leak, it will be just a drive across town to have it repaired. We have some very pricey after-market radiators available here, and even those have way too many issues.

I don't know where you're based, but Serck Motorsport make a lot of the radiators for drag cars etc. Their workmanship looks very good and they're well trusted so may well be worth an enquiry!
