    Hi Community,

    Found crack in the plastic on top part of radiator yesterday on my 02 WRX. I figure that since I have close to 160K that it lasted longer than most.
    Anyway, I need to get a mishimoto or equivalent ASAP. I was just wondering if there was any shop/vendor/person in the ATL area that has these in stock so I can pick it up local? It looks like there are plenty of vendors I saw on NASIOC that I could order tomorrow morning and hopefully get it overnighted and have it by Tues. aft.
    Just wondered if there was a local option?

    Thanks!

    when my radiator cracked, there wasn't a single shop that had an upgraded aluminum radiator in stock. However, that was for an RS, which is different from the WRX radiator.

    Call some of the local shops

    TopSpeed
    All Pro
    Forged
    Kill Shot

    and see if they have one in stock. If not, call Josh at Import Image. He has some of the best pricing around and can ship it out pretty quick

    Also, this is one of the best aftermarket radiators out there http://www.importimageracing.com/p/Gimmick-Motorsports-Racing-Radiator-Combo-Kits.html

    Thanks Matt for the recommendations! Import image is who I was looking to order from since they are closer than the vendors in the northeast.

    I got my 2 core aluminum from ebay for $100 shipped. Worked great since June. Not a perfect fit for the fans but I had to bend a couple brackets to make them work. Keeps the temps down a bit compared to the factory.

    Enjoy it. I'm sure they'd install it and flush the system at minimal extra charge to you as well.
