i'm not sure but i think i ****ed up my radiator. that seems to be where all the coolant is coming out of. i can get an 03-04 cobra radiator for the same as i can get a stock replacement so my question is does it help any? i've searched and people seem to have mixed opinions. i just need a simple yes/no. i'm also probably going to put in my 160 degree thermostat also. thanks for the help fellas.
i have coolant all over my driveway!

the terminator rad is better, its thicker by a noticable amount
Just get a fluidyne and be done with it.
its 3/8" thicker and has aluminum end tanks.
You won't see much difference in cooling. If all you want a stock replacement but with more peace of mind, then go for the Terminator Rad. If you are looking for a better cooling solution aim for an aftermarket aluminum multicore radiator.
I've ran the stock 96 rad, Mishimoto Rad, and currently Terminator Rad. Hands down I can tell you the Mishimoto blows the Terminator Rad out the ring. This summer I'll be installing the Mishimoto back in.

You see a lot of stories regarding Mishimoto radiators leaking... Just something to consider.
i just drove my car like a mile up the road and came back. it's pouring out of the bottom of the rad. i can get a 03-04 cobra radiator for $75. by the way, are you coming to the meet tomorrow?
I think my fluidyne is starting to go and leak a little bit..
but basically with my fluidyne and 180* thermostat...while everyone at the track is trying to keep their engine bays cold....I have to make sure my motor doesn't cool down too much!
needle sits on the 'N' at all times once warmed up.

That thing has to be running rich if it never gets warm. Thats what my car did atleast.
what time are yall planning on getting there? i thought it was a sat. thing. i'm supposed to have a bachelor party thing going on tomorrow evening/night so i'm not positive. it all depends on the time. sucks about the radiator. will your car be ready tomorrow? if i do go i'm not planning on running my car but would love to watch.
thanks,

Put a real temp gauge in that car
Just get a stock replacement.
i'm going to get the 03-04 radiator. same price, why not. if i can get the radiator installed and everything put back together than yes my car will be at the meet. i'm not running mine either. i've had some bad luck lately and i don't want to chance it. i think we are going to get up there around 7.
i got a mishimoto 3 row on ebay for $215 shipped. just make sure u get the newer ones as earlier designs had issues w/ leaks.
well ****. i bought this 160 degree thermo a long time ago and i was finally going to put it in. good point though.
