5th gen rads are compatible with the cl1 and most of them are buying mishimoto rads. Can be found for under £200 now to.

vanzep has a koyo if I remember right and fitment on that is spot on.

Mishimoto and Koyo are spot on fitment. It's Japspeed ones that have proven not to fit.

I'm curious about the other unbranded ones. I'd imagine if anything that some could be the same as the Japspeed, but £125 is much more appealing than £200.

H-tune was the cheapest for a Mishimoto the last time I looked. Koyo aren't worth the extra.

My radiator is looking a bit tired and missing some fins so I think an upgrade is in order.

Question is what about the mishimoto fan/shrouds also.

Group buy at this rate! :lol:

Not sure what the shrouds are for but Id presume its for if your tight for space depending on mani setup etc. Cl1 guys say the standard fans fit perfectly. Hopefully nafemannathan knows for sure.

The Mishimoto fan shrouds are almost the same cost as a rad at standard price! About £180 I think, which is crazy for just a folded bit of metal. They ensure the fans draw air through the entire rad Mikey, not just the area they cover.

I've got 14" aftermarket fans for my Mishimoto rad, so can't comment for sure about OEM fan mounting points and exhaust manifold clearance.
