Good product. Be ready to buy a new radiator cap.

Perfect fit for my 2000 GS300. As mentioned in a previous review, a factory radiator cap will not fit. Planning on buying one for the WRX.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Terrible quality control

Crap is assembled crookedly. It can be clearly seen that one of the sides of the radiator is not perpendicular to the top. Because of this I am unable to install the fan shroud assembly as the screws are misaligned. GS300 car.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Direct replacement heatsink

Installed on my 2003 GS300 after finding a microcrack in the top of the OEM heatsink. Searched for a replacement and mentioned this product in my Clublexus forum. My mechanic said it was an easy install and a direct replacement. Haven't had any problems with the car for 2 months.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some bugs

IMPORTANT - Radiator Cap

Radiator Cap not included with Mishimoto radiators with plastic reservoirs. The OEM radiator cap is too small for the R2222 radiator for Lexus GS300. Two calls to Mishimoto customer service and we were told the Stant 10267 cover, which is slightly larger, would fit. Only Advanced Auto Parts sold this cover for the 2002-2006 Subaru WRX! Otherwise I would have to wait for delivery. The R2222 cooler was a direct replacement. Great product, great customer service and warranty, and easy install!

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Fits but not for long, seller replaces

Great product perfect for my 02 gs300. Very well packaged but no lid, I followed the advice of other reviews and ordered a resistant lid and I installed it myself and it was all done in 30 minutes. ***UPDATE*** ONE YEAR LATER AND HER LEAK. NEED TO REPLACE. ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SELLER TO MEET LIFETIME WARRANTY AND NO RESPONSE. If you are buying this do not buy through a seller (import parts) find another seller, these guys should be banned from Revain. No customer service. The seller finally…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
