    I wouldn't put mushimoto or whatever in the same level as Fluidyne, they have a long way to go before NASCAR uses them.

    Your not paying for the name brand your paying for quality of a part that is tried and true, only reason I recc'd it. I ran this same Fluidyne for 5 yrs no issues. S-trim, T-trim and now with a turbo and the car has always ran around 180, and yes in the same year car as you.

    Like I said def in my top 5 fav mods, I use to always have trouble keeping the car cool before this. I have no experience with the KUNG FU PANDA radiator all I meant, and if I had to do it again and it cost me 800$ for a Fluidyne I'd buy one, my engine means that much to me and the part has worked great and never given me an issue.

    KUNG FU radiator might be the next best thing..who knows....hahah srry had to.

    Sorry my opin wasnt what you wanted to hear.

    Good luck, anything is better than the stocker right!

    I'm with 4Jenna! I had the Fluidyne on my fox body and no issues. I had another no name brand and problems galore. Didn't fit exactly right and leaked after a year. Yeah, the Fluidyne costs more but it ended up twice as much the way I did it since I had to buy 2 radiators within a year. I could have just bought the Fluidyne and been done with it! Lesson learned!!

    Not trying to turn you away from that Mishimoto one because it may rock. Get on one of the Import forums and do a search on them. They might be the Fluidynes of the Import world if that makes any sense! Sorry, couldn't think of anything else to compare it to!

    actually, $350 for a fluidyne doesn't seem that bad.

    Man, this is funny ...I love it... ^^^

    I could not agree more with 4Jenna.

    If you are going to just putt around with the car, get a stock radiator or the KUNG FU one. If you are making good power, then cooling is a bigger issue. There is something to the old " You get what you pay for". You need to pick the quality of the radiator that you think will get the job done.

    I myself would not use a "Seal all" or "Stop leak" in summer time temp's. It may plug the leak, along with some radiator flow.

    Just my $00.02

    Lethal performance looks to be middle of the road on fluidyne but they support this site so they may be able to get close to that.

    let me know if you need a hand putting it in, I owe ya one. and since it will help I was gonna throw ya $40 for takin the time to help me with my intake, wish I could give more. Gas is expensive these days and since you made a few trips and picked me up some parts it would make me feel better.
