That looks perfect. Looks the same as the OEM ones on rockauto, but about 1/4 the price.

Wow. I would totally order one myself, but the addition of the auto transmission oil cooler lines throws me off.

I'm sure it's fine to use on the manual, but I would like a direct replacement that doesn't have wasted cooling space.

Nothing wrong with a copper/brass OEM-fit rad for sixty bucks. You did well.

Wow. And only $10 shipping. Sounds too good to be true.

Please do let us know what shows up, post some pics. If it's the real deal I'd like to get one myself.

Thanks

Mazda's list price on a radiator, which was in that ballpark, when you could get it

You guys are sounding like a bunch of autophobes.

Like J9 and PJ say, ALL standard aftermarket FB rads have the cooling pipe installed. Eeww....

Let us know what it looks like Jose, if that thing holds water and looks like the pictures, its a steal.
