[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 13932875, member: 8854"] When my stock unit started leaking I put in a Mishimoto. It's much thicker and required slotting the ABS unit mounting bracket and forcing it back. The supercharger's reservoir container no longer cleared and I had to move it closer to the engine and drill new holes and use self tapping sheet metal screws to secure it. The cooling fan didn't sit close enough to the radiator so it sucks air from the sides. I had to order some rubber weather stripping from online and custom seal it. Doing a clutch job now and just realized I can no longer get a socket in the front of the crank to hold it while trying to remove the clutch. The thicker radiator puts the cooling fan to close to the crank. I now have to remove the cooling fan and coolant bottle above it to get access to the front of the crank. My car runs hotter with the Mishimoto radiator than it did with stock. I'm told its because the air can't force through the thicker radiator and I need to build baffles around it to force air through it and also build an air dam below it. In hind sight I should have just paid the extra money and got a stock replacement. I may still do it since this massive unit is nothing but more dead weight in an already heavy car. [/QUOTE]
