Review on ๐Ÿš— Mishimoto X-Line Performance Aluminum Radiator for Honda S2000 (2000-2009) by Raymond Vogel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good cooler, not big.

Generally a good radiator. I installed this for the s2000 as the heatsink was cracked. Installation was pretty easy with the exception of removing and installing the bottom hose. In terms of quality, I think the $350 setup should be better since the screw holes don't line up exactly. The drain plug also seems very cheap and can strip threads if over tightened. Be sure to use Teflon tape. The radiator is much thicker than the original and can store twice as much coolant. This helps a lot with cooling down. I've driven the s2000 in stop and go traffic in triple digit heat and my s2000 hasn't had any issues so far! I've used this heatsink with a Mishimoto fan shroud and it's a good combo, I just wish the fans would blow a lot more air. However, this is a separate review. I don't have much trouble with what other reviewers have experienced. My only advice is to be careful and use teflon tape on the drain plug. Also a good heatsink, but not great.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Periodicity
