🚗 Mishimoto X-Line Performance Aluminum Radiator for Honda S2000 (2000-2009) Review

Minor modification screwing the fan to the heatsink. Holes and welded rods for fan mounting do not match. Must bend the rod

Radiators of excellent quality and very beautiful. It fits my S2000 perfectly and I was able to install the fans without any modifications. The cooler also improves overall cooling.

Had to change hubcap 3 times but kept leaking until I found the Spoon hubcap, wasted time, money and coolant, never buy again. I took it out and changed it to something else. Hammer these tabs many times to straighten them. Even if you have an OEM S2K recording, it will interfere.

Fits perfectly. The only problem was the drain plug. It's aluminum, which is nice, but it's hollow and very thin. how skinny is he I think I could unscrew it with my hands. I unscrewed it with a wrench and everything was almost effortless. We contacted the manufacturer and they said they would replace it but all they could do was send me another one exactly the same. If we ever pay someone to replace the antifreeze, they're guaranteed to pull the plug.

The radiator is beautiful. Light, well packaged. Comes with everything you need and is a drop-in replacement. However, the radiator cap was originally very loose. With the lid on it was still very wobbly. I started the engine and the coolant came out. I had to squeeze the latches a little to get a tighter fit. Now the wobble is gone but I can still smell the coolant. I'll try to see if Mishimoto will release a new radiator cap to replace this clearly defective one. I'm giving this place 3 stars

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…
