You will need to move the AC condenser a little to make it fit if you get the thicko one like I did.

Yeah, I had to push mine forward a little so it didn't contact the radiator.

I ordered the CXRacing radiator tonight (from ebay seller ETD Racing) .... I wasn't sure at first, but then I found this helpful thread. Good stuff.

FWIW, I installed a CXRacing radiator on my 90 spec miata 2 weeks ago and have run it for 3 days so far with absolutely no issues.
It bolted up a bit funny, but that's because my frame is bent. :giggle:

When I install this, how much coolant should I have ready to fill up the system?

I just installed a perhaps-identical Mishimoto, and it took short of 2 gallons total. I was expecting more.

Installed the CXR radiator today.

There were two glitches, both not difficult to fix.

First: the extra thickness of the CXR radiator, vs. stock, caused the fans to not easily fit around my FM throttle body elbow and FM turbo compressor-to-IC inlet piping. So I had to remove those parts, then put the new radiator in, then reinstall the FM stuff. Mangled some of the new radiator's front fins .... grumble.

Second: When I transferred the stock fans to the new radiator, four out of five holes lined up perfectly, but one was off by 1/4-inch. It took some persuading but I eventually got it to work by bolting down the "off" hole first, then attaching the other four bolts a little at a time.

Otherwise, the job was uneventful. I never changed a radiator before (I never even changed my own coolant before!) so it took me four hours instead of one. :)

All's well that ends well ....

wow mine lined up perfectly, I installed the fans last as the BEGI intake is very hard to get back on in tight places.

Mine is still going strong...

im getting another one for my MSM

CXRacing sells the radiator w/ shroud and 2 slim fans. Would it be better to purchase this, or a plain CXRacing radiator and use my stock fans?

At long last I fitted the cxracing rad to my 00.

I fitted a slimline fan to replace the stock left hand fan and give me lots of clearance for the intercooler hose elbow.

I also had to make a new bracket for the PS hoses.

Rad going strong after a weeks now.

Installed mine earlier this week in my MSM. All is fine so far.

Edit - Oh sh!t, a two year old thread and I can't delete the post, sorry. Well, fwiw, the cxracing radiators are still good (and cheap), LOL.
