PLEASE DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A 1996 JDM GC8!

IN THE DESCRIPTION 93-98 SUBARU GC8 BUT THIS WILL NOT FIT IF YOUR VEHICLE IS JDM! I AM COMPLETELY IN THE CARIBBEAN. PRESENT THE RETURN COSTS. UNKIND! Overall a good product but disappointing which contradicts what the ad says, this may not suit MG

Pros
  • Spare Parts
Cons
  • There are nuances

Bulletproof and runs much cooler

Fantastic cooler and handles rally abuse MUCH better than stock.. Installed a more powerful H6 engine in my Impreza coupe and now it runs 20-30 degrees cooler and never overheats when I'm in line on a hot day.

Pros
  • Dimensions: 28.2" x 19.3" x 2.55" / Core Size: 13.35" x 27.08" / Rows: 2
Cons
  • Has issues

Misleading lifetime warranty

Lifetime warranty doesn't really cover everything. For manufacturing defects only. It is not possible to get a warranty replacement as the core leaked due to external force. Pretty annoying considering I know Crash people who have replaced them, but if used in a real racing environment Mishimoto won't cover this. I tried soldering it back but the core is so thin it blew out. I thought Mishimoto would redeem the guarantee, especially as I compete in the highest level rally events in North…

Pros
  • All aluminum construction includes high pressure radiation protection cap and magnetic drain plug
Cons
  • empty

Perfect OEM upgrade!

This cooler fits my '98 Impreza perfectly! I was concerned that I would have to buy flimsy fans for this as they are much wider than Subaru's factory radiator, but if you attach the fans to the radiator before installing the radiator you can use the originals. I have about 1/2 inch space between the straps. You need to buy 4 M6x1 screws to fix the fans as they are not included. I had to drill a tab a little wider at the bottom to allow the fan to fit in perfectly, but no big deal. Also make…

Pros
  • Lifetime Mishimoto guarantee
Cons
  • Long delivery time
