Mission-moto

that's a classic. I hear about these rads all the time but if yours blew and your car is down. Just pick up a stocker if your not racing or just grab a koyo since they're easy to find. Also you'll want to post a thread like this in the WTB section next time.

BlkWhtTSI · 06-09-2008, 05:21 PM

well my dad said it was mission-moto so its HIS fault haha. I've spoken to a few peeps and i heard good things about them and koyo.
Mishimoto it is and to strike a funny bone my dad described it saying its an aluminum radiater so its some new bling-blang under your hood....among other things.

Wow that's quite gay. Deliver a swift kick in the nuts for that comment.

I've been running a Mishimoto rad for about 7 months now. It keeps it cool, easy to drain, PERFECT fit, and it looks great....I like it! It was also less then half the price of the OEM, and Koyo rads

hockyplyer18 · 06-09-2008, 06:17 PM

ive heard good things about them also, its prolly what im going to buy once my rad craps out. but you might be able to buy a stock replacement from napa or advanced for cheap. i know for my dad's work trucks a replacement rad for an s10 is like 100 bucks or something crazy cheap like that at napa or advanced just call all 3 of them napa advanced and pep boys and get the cheapest one....

cmr076 · 06-09-2008, 07:43 PM

haha funny, me and nick (assault187) were just talking about them earlier today!

BlkWhtTSI · 06-09-2008, 10:50 PM

stock rads for my car are about 200 the same price as a mishimoto so its not worth it. and the one i looked at, at pep boys, was $182 and only 1 inch thick when stock is 1 1/4 inch :wtf:

CarbonIS · 06-10-2008, 06:50 AM

BlkWhtTSI · 06-10-2008, 10:32 AM

sooo this radiater might hurt my performance by keeping temps too cool? Or i won't notice a thing?

CarbonIS · 06-10-2008, 01:13 PM

you won't notice any negative effects, you will see increased performance for higher horsepower applications.

BlkWhtTSI · 06-10-2008, 01:58 PM

ok so when i get my turbo and other parts thats when it'll help best

LPC · 06-10-2008, 01:59 PM

You car can and will get to its operating temperature. It just takes a while. I have a thick ass koyo on my car and when I start driving for the first like 10 minutes it will stay a 1/4 of the way up the temp gauge but when I keep driving eventually it will get to the halfway mark. You will get up to operating temp, but whenever the thermostat opens you probably will notice a drop in temp.

If I cruise on the highway or casual around town driving my temp gauge will start to drop below half again. Its in general a good thing - who cares if your car isn't at peak operating temp... just beat on it for a minute and voila....

BlkWhtTSI · 06-10-2008, 02:11 PM

Now if only the part would arrive at JNZ lol i'm kinda anxious right now to put it in

PaleDSM · 06-10-2008, 07:28 PM

Told you that you could have taken one today. ;)
Swing by tomorrow and pick yours up.

BlkWhtTSI · 06-11-2008, 09:02 AM

Yeah i know and then my dad took the truck and left me vehicle-less. I'll be up today

shuttlegoose · 06-16-2008, 02:09 PM
