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.

Even if this one is a 2 row and the factory GSL-SE is 1 row radiator from factory...
That difference has to count for something...

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

All aftermarket radiators for everything ever will have the cooler in them if an OEM application used a cooler. It hurts nothing on a manual and allows them to cut their parts inventory in half.

+ 1

That is why I didn't like this one either including the one on Rock Auto - they come with the auto transmission cooling lines.

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.

Looks great, I think you got a real deal!

I think you got the last one though, they're no longer listed on the link.
