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 .

what are you trying to get at? are you implying they are just as expensive?
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.

i got my PWR radiator for under 500 dollars brand new from my wholesaler in the USA,
getting quality parts at good prices is not about what you buy, it is how & where you buy it...Last edited by tinkerbell; 02-07-09, 10:45 AM.... retired/
