Can you define "performance" ................. imo the OEM radiator is more than able to handle the std 3rd gen motor's heat output

Mishimoto only makes all-metal ones for 4th gens and up, but i remember someone saying that one of Mishis universal radiators looks like it would most likely fit a 3rd gen.

most plastic radiators are probably made in China or something anyways, and metal radiators are very solid compared to plastic top ones

I found a full copper radiator on eBay for $59.00. Two row stuff, works like a dream. I don't believe the company knows it's it's not plastic tank . Want the link? Copper is better than aluminum all day every day.

Well, did you contact the company? I'm pretty sure I ordered mine a few years ago from them and got it pretty quick, and yes it was all aluminum.

Thanks.

I also ordered the same radiator a couple of years ago. You can kind of see the corner of it in my sig.
