Replaced it with mishimoto and haven't looked back. Holds much more coolant that OEM and does a much better job cooling.
Pros: holds more coolant, better cooling
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Replaced OEM with a mishi, Fitment is good part reason I went with it was I replaced the fans with mishimoto fans and it all slid in nicely
Pros: good fitment, easy installation
I have a mishimoto radiator. At idle the highest I get to is 196 F then it drops down to about 185 F. While driving I’m usually averaging about 178 - 190 F if I’m not in stop and go traffic.
Pros: stable low temperatures
I have a mishimoto thermostat with their radiator setup. It does kick on the fans on at a lower temp range than when the stock one would which is good. I had issues running hot on the stock rad/thermostat and haven't had any issues since.
Pros: fans kick on sooner, no overheating issues
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Mine bolted right in, no issues, and works spectacularly.
Pros: easy installation, spectacular performance
I put a Mishimoto rad in the R53 on the same terms as you @whalemingo - and only learned of Mishi's QC decline after I put it in the car. So far, it's been just fine.
Pros: so far, it's fine
Cons: QC decline
Vehicle:
MINI
I despise those mishi radiators they take up too much space. Makes it hard to do anything on the front of the engine without ripping it out.
Cons: takes up too much space, hard to work on engine
Vehicle:
Subaru
Recently got rid of the mishimoto radiator and went back to the updated larger radiator
Cons: replaced due to issues
Vehicle:
Ford
stay away from mishimoto, their radiator quality is sub par
Cons: sub par quality
