Hey everybody,

I am looking to upgrade my rad to a Mishimoto unit and I was wondering if anyone has installed one on their car. I hear really great things about their no-questions-asked warranty and their customer service, but haven't heard much about their actual product for the RX-8. If anyone has any experience with it let me know, it is much appreciated.

 

Someone has it, You can search.

and Warranty is ONLY 1 year.

This car's radiator is pretty tricky. So its not just "up the size" and u will get better cooling. stock Radiator is actually not bad. Even tho its all plastic on the side.

If you want Upgrade, Get BHR/Griffin or Mazmart/Ron Davis.

Or you can try some Japanese ones, but the price alone will rape you.

 

Just because I'm new doesn't mean I don't know how to search. All I found were threads about their intakes and vendor threads selling the rads. Regardless, I'm upgrading because I am looking to boost in the near future, my local shop suggested the Mishi rad but I just wanted input from actual RX8 owners who ran it.

 

Well for anybody who is interested when I called to order they told me they were giving one away for free! I thought I would pass this along on the forum, all you have to do is enter your e-mail.

^^thanx bud

they seem really cool... couldn't ask for a better product for free!

looks like i may end up with this, if no-one has already made contact with them right after you made this post.

this made my day worth getting on the forum. for some free stuff

 

wtf, lol!... its kinda funny after looking into the parts. the free radiator is only a display unit to hold business cards.

well...due to its smaller size, it can be modified into smaller cars maybe???

whatevers... already signed up anyways

 

would be interesting for them to try to give away anything but an actual radiator...

 

lots of good advice here. all the other aftermarket rads have shown to be the same or worse than the stock one.

beers

 

What do you mean? They are giving away a real RX8 rad lol...

 

bump

I actually bought one and it doesn't fit right in. anyone have experience with this brand? need help asap. please.

 

have you contacted mishimoto? They would be the ones with detailed instructions...

 

Yup, sent them an email. Hoping the club will have the answer faster. We are pretty damn awesome sometimes.

 

Did a quick search and didnt come up with anything specific for the Mishi Rad.

What about the rad is not sitting right?

 

gonna get pics tomorrow. unfortunatly i'm car parts retarded. I can drive the **** out of it. But for the fixing and installing, I need help.

 

Definitely post up pics. Mishi has a good reputation for customer service, so they should be pretty helpful as well.

 

my friend said their radiators dont fit right

 

Waiting for pics, installing a Mishimoto next week.

 

any pics or updates???
