Well that sucks. If you've been sitting on it too long, even if they offered some type of warranty, they probably wouldn't honor now

Side note; what coolant overflow tank is that? CS or the weapon R, if weapon R were did you get it?

wtf on the radiator, I've heard some good reviews from the ebay aluminum radiators.

I'd return it or at least have them reimburse me to have the crack welded

Sorry to hear about the radiator, I picked up my rad/e-fans/shroud and my intercooler/piping from ebay and the only issue I had was my cold pipe being too tall & hitting my hood.

Hit or miss I guess

just to be a little more clear. its not a totally nameless ebay company. its cxracing brand. i read a lot about em and heard lots of people were pleased with em. pbm was my first choice but they were gonna be out of rads for like 3 months. hahaha i see you made it home from drinking keegs.

apparently cxracing has their own team with their own cars and stuff so their products have been tested

i think you just got a bad radiator, did you try and return it?

Sucks to hear about the rad WC.

I have a CXracing intercooler kit, and I'm not a big fan of them after using it..

yeah i tried to have them do something and the OWNER was very rude and told me he doesnt care about my problems. he said you have 15 days to return the item and even though i explained that it sat in the box in the corner of the garage the whole time and was never used or damaged in anyway he said it wasn't his problem. he said all he could do was give me a discount on another rad but i probably won't like that one either. i told him that i don't respond well to sarcasm and that i will never purchase any of their products again

Wow after that story, I won't be purchasing another CXracing product again...

The fitment of the intercooler wasn't that great.The piping was a given since I bought the kit for a SR, but the intercooler itself had pretty pathetic brackets in useless shapes that had to be cut up and bent to have my intercooler fit.

i've heard stories about these knockoff companies not giving a fck about the customer, all they want is your money.

I'll never buy from them ever again...customer support is number one IMHO, even if they are selling s*** straight from china

ehh its the only non name brand part on my car so i'm not surprised either, but i at least thought it'd last a little. before i bought it i read nothing but good reviews of people having them for over 2 years and they were fine. at the time pbm was out of stock, mishimoto was over $60 more and still not the best and koyo was 4 times as much. pbm is out of stock again but i'm probably gonna give them as much time as i can to get more in stock.

and fyi- i think my name brand walborro is dieing on me

yeah it sucks that its too late for me now, but idk i was more willing to try new companies until this incident. i just figure every company has to be new at some point. at first people were wary of pbm but now they're established. the only reason i took a chance on my isis lines too is cuz i got em from enjuku and their customer service is top notch if something goes wrong.

that sounds good man just hit me up when you guys plan on coming over. i'm busy til the evening and the car is in a new location. its at the garage at my place now, keegan knows where it is if he still remembers

You should stop explaining yourself. It really doesn't matter to me what YOU put in YOUR car. Everyone can rationalize any decision they made. I'm just another guy on the internet with an opinion.
