Constant threat
Are you needing a replacement or do you want to avoid the potential for having the stock radiator's plastic end tanks catastrophically failing or what? WHY do you 'need' a new radiator? And are you seriously going to auto-X, or is this just a fancy? Reason I ask is you can get one HELL of a good stock replacement radiator from RADIATORWORLD.COM for $160 that will significantly outperform the stock radiator and be MORE than enough for 99.97% of ANY driving needs. Surely you are not just a ricer-wannabe that THINKS he has to have an "aluminum racing radiator" simply because it is "cool".....? Remember, an aluminum radiator is NOT as efficient as a copper/brass unit.

I'm doing in upgrade on my intercooler, and as well injectors. So i want a stand up radiator, so that i could add my front mount intercooler. Not trying to be a ricer or making my car look cool bro. I drive my car around and i travel from Rochester to Brooklyn. So i want my engine to be cool not heating up. From what i know rotary make alot of heat. So the cooler the antifreeze is, the cooler my engine.I seen autox here in Rochester. I didnt know nothing about it and when i seen it, it was cool. I do drifting and it would be a nice thing to try out as well. I try not to limit my self in one spot. I love drifting, drag, street race, highway race. So learing something new would be nice and my drivng skill would improve as well.

Koyo
Putting a Koyo race radiator in my FD during my rebuild. I plan to push the car harder than before, like taking it on the track. But the main thing is to run cooler. I want more reliability. This upgraded radiator, a DP and bigger IC are the main changes I'm making to ensure cooler running.
Seeing the stock radiator in comparison to my new one, I am amazed that Mazda was willing to use it. It is incredibly undersized, wimpy and crappy looking. Maybe double the thickness is not required to fix this problem. But why the hell not? Got my Koyo off the eBay guy (Complete Motorsport http://stores.ebay.com/Complete-Motorsport) for a reasonable price ($340 "buy it now" including CA tax and shipping).

A lot of you are REALLY confused as to what makes a radiator work....lol!
"thickness" and number of rows and all that are only PART of the equation.
Aw **** it....no sense it trying to bring logic into THIS thread....may as well debate dino vs. synthetic oil for all the good it does....lol!
