that website is trusted, he used to be a vendor on here.

any OEM part i need to buy and can wait for it to be shipped i get from them cause he is always cheaper then the dealership by me.

if im not mistake but i think AWR is the only one that makes an aftermarket rad for the MSP

Thanks for the input @fattie. Yes, i think AWR is the only legit aftermarket direct replacement for the OEM radiator

I have purchased several parts from there including the radiator for the price I posted back in 02.2012. I would not even consider a junk yard radiator but to each their own. Doubtful that the fan and smic mounting brackets bolt right up without fabrication / modification either on the honda junk yard special.

@boostr have you bought parts from this site? i live in vegas and my car sits outside all the time because of my garage being full. really feel bad for my banana

@boostr the rad you got is OEM right? could you give me the part number if it's not a hassle? the website isn't all that clear on fitment and they emailed me a part number that is completely different from the price you gave me

A genuine mazda part. The same exact radiator that brand new MSP's came with from the factory. Comes with a new radiator cap, drops right in and the fan brackets, wiring and smic require no additional fabrication to install. Website still shows the same price. Montgomery Mazda. Contact Jason

Thanks a lot @boostr. Saved me a lot of time and money and hopefully if someone needs a Radiator and don't have a FMIC set up they come to this thread!
