Griffin for me. Used one before on my RB car was 10 degrees cooler running than the Koyo. I will use a Griffin on my VQ setup.

Just because you offer a lifetime warranty doesn't mean that you will get my or other peoples business, even if you pay for the radiator if I lose my job or I can return it no charge.

People have personal preferences, and sometimes stick to brand names they know.

I have a no name radiator in my car not ebay, not koyo, not mishmoto, not griffin, or lex whatever. Just a big motherfucking radiator that does the job and fits under my hood.

When it breaks, I will probably have a specialty radiator shop build me a radiator with a built in shroud and fans that mounts to my stock grounding locations so it doesn't bolt to my upper radiator support.

Which I can't currently buy from you, or koyo.

We all have different needs was my point.

Your first point and your second point both go i different directions. the first is like its implying "just get any it doesnt matter" but your second point goes at it in a different approach. and the way mishimoto responded is a valid response to your firsts post.

Here's some pictures as promised. This is an S14 Mishimoto radiator, S14 SR OEM fan shroud, and S13 fan clutch. The OEM AC fans was also mounted.

Absolutely no trimming was involved, although I did have to move the aluminum dryer canister for the AC a few inches up. Luckily there's already a threaded hole at that new position so the move was fairly painless.

I've been beating on this thing for over half a year now with this radiator and in the last couple months in the burning Texas heat with no problem so far.

I honestly don't think that the S13 SR radiator is any different to fit than mine. Please don't give me flak about how my cold pipe is touching the shroud, its a temporary solution.

Mishimoto definitely has an amazing warranty, this will, in my opinion yield more customers going in their direction. Hopefully this warranty stays true for the life of the company because many bigger companies that have grow from their small business status' have neglected customer services and just worry about making money.

Forgot to thank you for the pics. Mine fits just like yours except I have to do some trimming to get the hole on the top right to line up with the stock fan shroud but that's probably because of my car. Very happy with the rad so far.
