[DC2RKID]

ey guys top tank on my radiator has started to weap a lil ...i know i can get the top tank repaired but id rather get a new radiator all together...anyone know of the price of a radiator for one of these ...does anyone recommend like a PWR radiator or anything ...help would be appreciated

Yeah. Most on here who choose to upgrade usually go with PWR, Koyo, Mishimoto etc. However these are considerably more expensive then a oem replacement, Koyo for example has a rough price tag of 600...

Have you checked the price of an OEM radiator? Are they really cheap?

I have a friend that put a Mishimoto in his car, an S2000, about 6 months ago after his OEM top tank split and it hasn't busted yet .

my point is they are cheaper than aftermarket ones
what are you trying to get at? are you implying they are just as expensive?

Well I was just wondering whether an OEM radiator really is cheaper than the lower end aftermarket radiators you mention. I would not be surprised at all if a new radiator from Honda Australia cost a similar sum to the aftermarket radiators you mention.

If an OEM radiator was cheaper than the units you mention I would happily choose OEM over the aftermarket ones.

A quick investigation of prices seems they are about the same price in the US. A Koyo on US Ebay is about 300 USD and that is nearly the exact same price listed for a Honda unit on OemAcuraParts.com.

Yeh, Oem brand new is expensive like any other honda part. Koyo, Fluidyne, Mishimoto, Pwr etc. I got my old Fluidyne from the US. Will kick ass over any retail price here in Au:

That is your point of view and is debatable. My theory of OEM being cheaper then aftermarket is not derived through comparing the price of a new radiator from Honda Australia. I would rather source an OEM replacement from a local auto parts store at a cheaper cost which I highly doubt is dearer then an aftermarket radiator. Just for a perspective, JDMYard currently sells the Koyo Rad for $625.

Not trying to start an argument guy. There is no cause for contention, it is foolish to argue over prices. One will be cheaper than the other. I am just wondering which it is , it seems like an important piece of information to obtain when deciding what to replace an OEM radiator with.
