Auto Dynasty Full Aluminum 2-Row Racing Radiator, Compatible with Mazda RX-8 - SE3P

The radiator doesn't line up to several of my mounts in my 2008 mazda rx-8(manual) despite what Amazon tells me. Upon arrival I and installation I found that it was leaking and had to go to a shop to get it fixed. Seller was nice enough to give me the option to return or get it fixed with some help from them, I chose the later. In all honesty the mismatched mounting points made me very disappointed but the seller's response to that really helped calm me down. The radiator works as it should just buyer be warned, make sure to check: all ports for cracks, drain plug for cracks, o-ring on drain plug for tears (I would replace this part it's very inexpensive), if you are into modifications you will have to bend the tabs at the top of the radiator approximately 45 degrees (they sit at a 90 degree angle to the radiator), for one of the tabs you will either have to drill a hole or weld on a small piece and drill that because the tabs are too close together (does not align to the top mounting points at the same time), and finally the condenser and condenser shield's mounts are off by one (I have 3 of the 4 bolts in, the top right if you're looking at the car from the front, does not line up to the hole and you can either zip tie these parts together or drill into the radiator).

This went on my 2004 Mazda Rx8 which I did NOT take the front clip off the car to put it in! BONUS!

Not a 100% exact fit for but it works and it was a good match for my car

Does not fit 2009 Mazda rx-8 without modifications and some small mounting brackets.

Did what it's supposed to.
