my friend has a mishimoto rad on his brand new civic si, professionally installed and giving to be the their rep. after 2 days of driving the rad exploded, the cap blew off and coolant went everywhere. not trying to throw people off but its something good to know.

Sorry to hear that. IMHO, I don't think a radiator can cause overpressure. A blown head gasket, yes.

Not stopping me from buying one. Just sent payment. That local shop probably screwed something up during their "professional installation."

Alright I must be like Ann Frank because I cant find a paypal address or a phone number.

edit: nevermind.

Will my stock fans fit with this rad? or should I just upgrade em now so I dont have to deal with them in the future if I want a fatter sway bar?

C/O page 3 of this thread, post #45 for payment instructions. Excellent question regarding the stock fan fitment. Since 'assuming' that the rediator is for the NA's, one could easily 'assume' that it is set up for the fan mountings, but then . . . a direct answer will solve the question, eh?

Looks like it just shipped out! SWEET! Thanks for putting this together Sean.

I just called the 800 number posted by nester to make payments via credit card but the number doesn't work. Nester can you please let me know if this is the correct number? I want to make the payment by credit card.

my bad.

800.749.7111
713.681.1111

My extension is 1029.


sales@turbochargers.com is paypal

both numbers still giving a busy tone....not sure whats going on with your numbers man.

Phones are down right now. Phone company is on it. .

Phones are back up.

I'm sure they will bolt up, but the question is about clearance with the stock sway bar or an aftermarket one.

Well, finally managed to get away from work for a few minutes this afternoon to place my order today. Tough when you work the same hours as the business you want to order from, even more interesting when you are in a different time zone but at least now have one on order that I know will come sooner than later, if at all.

All pending NA rads are scheduled to deliver to me on Monday, 8/18/2008. They will be shipped back out to all paid customers on the same day.

I will have tracking numbers available for all, and all will rejoice.

If anyone else wants to go ahead and pay up, I can get yours out same day too. THANKS!

YAY!!! I want to drive my miata without overheating!!!

We'll I'm in too, great deal on a nice rad.

I will send a PM regardeing shipping cost, it will be a bit more to Vancouver Canada.

Great, thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to receiving the radiator next week.

I'll be ordering the NB version when it is available. Thanks for putting this together.

Working on that with USPS. Will get back to you.

Rad rcvd. Looks great. Thanks!

Awesome.

So did the radiator explode, or did the cap blow off?

I had a guy here who bought a rad for his suby, installed it himself, then called us to complain that he was broke down and the cap failed.

So we take a cap and coolant and my tech and we drive to the parking lot he's limped to, only to find out that one of his hoses was rubbing the fan blade and rubbed through.

Then he's like "Well, I heard some noise after I installed it, but I didn't think it was important."

the cap blew off, and the very bottom row was missing a couple fins. could be that he's an idiot, but just informing thats all.

How come I didnt get mine for this weekend :(

Pooooo

I got mines on Thurs!!! Sweet!!! Looks nice, build quality is awesome. Can't wait to put it in. Thanks a million Nester!!

Sent money!

Please make sure to send it to my Orlando address, and not the Panama City address.

how thick and how many rows?

:)

Has someone already installed his? We need guinea pigs!

I'm probably going to be a while. I'm going to fabricate a housing for the Ebay fans out of aluminum sheet but that has a back seat to getting the engine pulled and rebuild started. I even ordered a metal brake for the occasion as opposed to using 2x4's to make the bends.

I will install mine within 2 days of receiving it. Still waiting for tracking info. Nester said he was gonna ship today.

Rads just came in 5 minutes ago. We are working to get as many out tonight as possible before UPS comes for pickup.

Send mine first. I'm a nice guy.

and my current radiator is leaking.

everyone's rads shipped today except the 2 internationals and the one echeck that should clear tomm.

all of those should go out tomm. still have some more left for the stragglers.

oh and the lone NB guy... but he probably already knew that. :)

Thank you very much for taking on this group buy and being prompt and informative. I certainly appreciate it, and I know my car will too!!!

No rush here....

OK so call me stupid but I am confused. Is the NB version available now?

based on last info, probably about a week out from shipping to me.

Please put NB version next to my name on front page.

thanks

Is your order paid for? What's the name on the order.

Nester,

I was waiting to here the NB rads are available. You added my name to the list already, but not the NB.

pjm

Nester did you need money from me for the NB version. If so, I can send today. I'm sorry I wasn't aware you were looking for payment for the NB radiators.

Ok. I will let you know when the NB is ready.

Sean,

No, I will let you know.

--Sean

Thanks Nester.

Has anybody put one of these in with a RB hollow sway? How did your fans fit?

w00t!

Thanks for taking care.

Nice.

Hey Spookyfish,where did you get those fans & how much?

Rad looks to be alot better quality than the godspeed rad.

I have these, feel solid:

Feels very solid indeed.

Mine just arrived so once I finish my new COP install I'll get on that.

Thanks Spooky.

You say they all went out, does that include mine? please say yes...I already tore out the old one...
