ever heard of this phrase: "quality costs"?
thats just stupid to buy something cheap what is totally crap so you have to buy the good product soon after when the cheap crap fails

Yes, I understand that you get what you pay for...however, I firmly believe that for $150 US dollars a person should be able to get a hunk of aluminum that will cool antifreeze and keep my engine cool as well. That's all I'm asking for. I have no desire to sink 10k into a 10yr old car that will never have the performance of a new Civic Si, or even a Mazda Speed3. I don't buy performance parts for the hell of it, only want to upgrade things as they fail, my radiator has failed. Thanks.
