Radiator leaking
1990 Miata, 5 speed, 1.6, Flyin MiataVodoo II, tan top injectors, 185 HP.I replaced the original radiator about 3 years ago with a new one for an automatic 1990 miata.
Shortly after the install of the vodoo, which included a higer rated radiator cap, I smelled a leak but could not find it. Now I found it ( along the end..the seem).
Time for an upgrade. I want to retain my Air conditioning. Mishimoto, Koyo, Flyin Miata, other?
Future plans include an upgrade to Flying Miata II with hydra nemisi. I dont track the car at all.
Thanks and be nice. I did check the threads.

KOYO 37mm and you'll be fine. I've had two KOYO (though 55mm core) and I've been more than happy with them. I now hove a PWR 37mm on a FMII'ed car and have no problems doing much of anything (ok- I did have some issues at a track day when it was nearly 100* out and running at 6,000ft altitude...at FM's Summer Camp last year).

Here's a used Koyo 55mm for an NA for $225 + shipping, if you want to save a little money that is: http://www.miata.net/cgi-bin/isc/cla...evaction=today

Not to hijack this thread, but anyone run the Mishimoto that Good-win-racing sells? Claims 30% efficiency over stock and a direct replacement - on top of that, it's only 240 bucks.
From their site:

Any thoughts/experience?

If you want PERFECT drop-in fitment order one of our 37mm Miata Koyo radiators.If you are a Miata racer on a budget, and willing to work around minor fit and trim issues when installing your factory fans to this miata radiator, etc...
