5th gen radiator source...Amazon.com! Koyo for $61.65

I thought people might be interested to know that the "TYC" radiators from Amazon are actually Koyo's. I know that importRP has these on a group deal for around $100, but $61.65 is cheap!

Also, ordering from Amazon rocks, especially if you have Prime shipping. This qualifies for the Free 2-Day or $4.00 upgrade to NBD. Handy when your radiator blows up and you are left with no car...

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up.

Yeah, my radiator blew up about a month ago and the only one I could find on short notice was for an automatic. The only difference appears to be transmission cooler line connections on the bottom. I just left the plugs in the cooler line connections and it fit just fine. Did the whole swap in half an hour on the side of the road. Probably the easiest thing to fix on our cars.

did you have any clearing issues with the fan assembly mounting on it? I am pretty sure those are the same as the manual but just in case...
