    need some suggestions

    So my car is not the coolest car right now it heats up pretty quickly and right now i dont even use A/C because it gets too hot. I've been debating on getting a new radiator. So today i look in my engine bay and about 4 inches below my radiator cap cooland is leaking from where the radiator is plastic, so now i have to get a new radiator. Should i just get a stock replacement or should i get an aftermarket aluminum one. I do not want to pay the extra money just so i can say i have a aftermarket one, I was looking into the mishimoto aluminum radiators. What should i do? I really dont have the money to get a fluidyne unless someone can get me a deal on one. Let me know what your suggestions are... Thanks!!

    Cheapest fix "Seal All", I swear by the stuff, it will take care of you till you can afford the aftermarket radiator, or just get a stock one, you can find them on eBay pretty cheap, and I'm talking a new one, don't by a used one.

    We just put a Mishimoto in a car the other day. The quality and fit were pretty good.
