Ive finally decided to get a new rad cause mines disintegrating. I've looked on eBay and found a few such as this one for £58 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251658105392&globalID=EBAY-GB

I've also had a look on euro car parts and there standard rads are around £30-40

What do you guys recomend? Also has anyone had any problems with the eBay ones?

If fitted tonnes of the europarts oem radiators with no issues. Id go with one of them over that cheapo eBay alloy one. If you have your heart set on a performance alloy one id put up another £60 and go for a tegiwa one...
 
Is there actually any difference tho? I mean is the Tegiwa rad designed in house or is it just a generic Chinese rad with a Tegiwa sticker on it? I'd also go with the oem replacement rad it will work just fine.
 
Not sure but i have the half size one on my 9 and it seems a really well made rad. Welds are spot on, good fit and havnt had any issues for over 20,000 miles.

But i agree oem ones are good enough for most uses.
 
i bet the tegiwa one is the same just with a sticker or imprint on it
 
Okay thanks for the help, not sure about the tegiwa ones never seen one in person so cant say but could be a rebranded one
 
I'm using an ebay full length rad on my track car and it had been 100%

Coolant temp is also down slightly from the oem rad
 
I just installed a mishimoto rad in my ek9 don have any Long term review but fit very well it's a little shorter tho by maybe 3/8.
