Morning fochers!
Time for a new radiator! I got the Koyo, seems like a nice piece.
Dryaad, I'm using syncromesh in the tranny. (It was to help cure my 3rd gear grind when the car was stock. When it came back I brought it in and they couldn't find a problem
Can anyone still tell I'm a lil bitter about that? 
) The oil I listed above is for the rear differential.

After my tranny gets back, my car will NEVER be in a Mitsu service bay

Diaqueen is something completely different, that is a special order item only.
Although, I'd agree, for non-acd, or non-6spd cars, Redline is what I'd go with.
I have Redline in my '03 and Diaqueen in my MR. Both are butter smooth.

The more common "race" radiator, with aluminum end tanks, which I think is approximately the same thickness than stock, if anything, just a TEENY bit thicker.
The less common "oem" radiator. Looks just like stock. With the exception of Koyo stamped somewhere on the plastic end tanks, you'd never know.
A factory radiator is around the $500-$600 mark. The OEM Koyo is around the $300 mark. The race Koyo is around $425.
I just went through this about 6 months ago with my Winter Evo.

I thought about getting a custom one made, but my lame old fabricator picked up the koyo. I like the koyo, cools better than stock, is a hair bigger, and is shiney
The Koyo is a tad thicker, so if clearence is an issue, it won't work.On a side note, we got a new fabricator. Works for Jegs Racing Team and is cheaper than my old one
(Welds are fantastic too!)
