NC-fd3s

I got one of their rad back in Oct, the guy in the shop told me there are 2 different versions. Most of the issues from the earlier version were fixed on the later model but people might have a hard time installing it with the stock fan because of the thickness. That shop had both koyo and haste so I thought... well why not try out the 3 row one, it's something new for a radiator lol.

It came with the ast and upper brackets, everything looked good but it's pretty heavy. I never used the asi or Fluidyne but when I compared the haste and my friend's koyo, it feels at least 2-3 lbs heavier than the koyo's.

Other than that, the core on both the koyo and haste aligns pretty well. Also that 3 year warrantee from Haste is pretty cool. It has been on my car for 2 months and i haven't noticed any problems yet. Well... time will tell.

If you are looking to buy the haste rad, make sure you get the 2nd gen or w/e they call it and a slim style fan. If you want a 100% direct bolt on one, get koyo... no question asked.


I would rate it as:

Radiator finish: 8/10
(a few light scratches but not too noticeable. Welding looks good)

Performance: Unknown
(mine is just a stock FD, for collectable only. It does it's job tho.)

Fitment: 3/10
(For not being able to install the stock radiator fan, i'll give it a 3 out of 10. Everything else seems fine other than that)

Price: 7/10
(It was like $80 cheaper than koyo when i bought it. The quality sort of suprised me when i first pulled it out of the box.)


btw, how's the quality and fitment on asi ? Fromt the picture people posted, it looks pretty good lol. How much did you get your asi for? Any problems during the installation?

The haste website is coming up as an attack site for me in Firefox so I have to click "Ignore" to see the radiators. They are $389 now but it's not listing exact dimensions, only the thickness. So it's hard to compare to other brands. But the thickness is 53mm, same as Koyo.
