Quoting PolskiVR4:
A couple of years ago I asked the same question and I was directed to Radiator Barn and it worked great and fit perfectly. In the description it says plastic end tanks but mine was all metal construction. I dont know if they changed them or not but give them a call and find out.
Ok so I called these guys just now and they were telling me that they shouldn't be all metal construction. When I then explained how a buddy of mine said he received an all metal one from y'all. he said well that can't be because even the manufacturer states that they are plastic end tanked. So radiator barn asked me to ask you for mote info like your order number, name date of purchase so he can see what exactly happened there, then for me to call him back.

Late to the party...but I bought a Koyo replacement 6-7 years ago. It was better quality than the original, and fit perfectly. I think still plastic tanks, but an excellent piece regardless.

Evo 3 radiators work as well
Note these will be larger - an E16G will clear, but if you're running non-MHI you might have trouble. I couldn't fit one with my current parts
Don't let anyone beat you up for wanting one even if just for looks on a clean, maintained car -- there's a lot of aftermarket wheels & JDM bumpers out there. Here's an E3 Koyo shined up:
Does the EVO 3 koyo bolt right up and use the same threads for the coolant temp sensor and everything?
