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.
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."
