Please don't use pictures of MY CAR to show competing vendors my Sponsors Product (Which a lot of development time went into, as well as marketing and so forth...) to possibly copy and sell to this community. IMHO, it is just down right ignorant and disrespectful to my Sponsor, Thank you, that is all.

Disclaimer: CBRD had nothing to do with this post...just MHO. Thanks again.

+1 , ^Yeah they should have at least asked first. CBRD makes awesome products and puts a lot of time into R&D to perfect them. Everything they touch turns to gold.....................foil, LOL!

But to the original intent of the thread, I would like the choice of a stock setup in aluminum for show cars and a thicker one with the strait shot rad hose (maybe include the hose?) for modded cars. Most modded cars will not have the factory airbox anymore anyway. I love koyo rads and think they could probably produce these rads with a good price do to their manufacturing power.

we had an early production issue with pins being welded in the wrong location, clients were given the option of rewelding or a NEW core for no cost (there were 5)... 3 chose rewelding... and two leaked i believe.

we replaced them with BRAND NEW radiators at no cost, and reimbursed shipping...

they were not pressure tested after rewelding..

anyway, all taken care of!

cheers

I use a Koyo Radiator myself, and to tell you the truth, its the best mod I've put on. I love it! especially since I live in a country where cooling is a top priority in sports cars! keep up the good work!!

KOYO rad rocks..

sorry, to KOYO, for being in their thread, but someone did post pics of OUR product for them to copy...

KOYO is a large company, we cant compete with the volume production that makes a good product.

pm me for any info on our products...

welcome to evom.net koyo.

I pulled the pics down. Sorry about that.

Obviously Koyo is in tune with the market enough to describe a radiator with a slimmer profile and adjusted neck on their original post. From a simple picture there isn't a lot to copy anyway, but again sorry for that.

Im not sure if you have seen this but i thought i would bring it up. Guys that want to run bigger turbos or that just want to drop a few pounds off there car they have been getting the half size and makeing a few weds to make it fit right here is a ex.


http://www.amsperformance.com/store/...roducts_id=902

from what i hear its 50/50 some say it cools just like stock some say it over heats a lil from stop and go traffic. Have you guys looked into improving the cooling properties of the half size core. For d/d use

Our all-aluminum radiators are designed for a perfect bolt-on fit. There will be no fitment issues.

Thanks for the welcome!
We have no intention of copying anybody's radiator design.
We are simply trying to improve our own.
Plus, those pictures are available to the public. And our designs are too!
We only compete in terms of materials, build quality and price.

Hey, guys. We are strictly an aftermarket radiator company.
We do not supply our radiators to car manufacturers.
