Radiator cracked....
yup...like the title says, my radiator cracked on the plastic part on the top. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this? My car has 39K miles and i was thinking the lifetime of my radiator was pretty short..haha
Well anyway, if anybody DID change there's out, how much did you spend and where did you get it? the only place i can think of that MIGHT have it in stock is Performance Radiators in Mapunapuna area...any help is appreciated...thanks guys!!

Just go aftermarket, nevermind finding an oem replacement! Koyos are great and on the lower price for aluminum radiators. Plus they're fatter and provide extra cooling and capacity. I got mine for aboout 4 bills.

Mine kicked the bucket on my '04 STi at about 30k. Not too sure about OEM, but I bought mine from Performance radiator. It wasn't the fully blinged out Koyo, but it was made by Koyo.

At least my self, I had to cut the edges of the fans, very tight fit and since I have an aps fmic, the coolant tank was customized to a smaller size..

No mods for me for fitment (no FMIC). I did have to trim a little off the radiator hoses (perrin silicon) because it's fatter than stock and pushed the hoses back a little.
