Cost effective, more efficient, and quality build are the words that best describe the Mishimoto radiator. Lighter then stock, this radiator is great replacement to the stock unit and provides a greater cooling efficiency. Paired with a black finished silicone hose kit, this radiator makes a great addition for those looking for a stock replacement

Installation
Installation was straightforward and very easy to do. The Mishimoto radiator fits as perfect as the stock unit without any problems. Evo 9 owners will probably have to modify the hose to make sure you have a perfect fit, but nothing major. The most difficult portion of the install was draining the fluid in the stock unit. Total install time should be less then 2 hours.

Impressions
On the street, temps weren’t any different then stock. On track was where the difference was apparent. After a full weekend of beating the snot out of the car, the overall temps averaged 7 – 10 degree cooler then the stock unit. The silicone hoses held up to the high heat without leaks and the radiator maintained its performance throughout the weekend.

Conclusion
For under $300 this radiator is a bargain for those looking to replace their stock radiators for something that runs more efficient and is lighter then the stock unit. Longevity is something we are currently testing but after a couple of months the unit has held strong without issues. If you are in the market for a new radiator with silicone hose kit, give the Mishimoto Radiator and Hose Kit a try.

It’s been a while since our last install. We decided to change the pace a little and install something different for the project evo. Spring is around the corner and HPDE (high performance driving events) sessions were getting closer and closer. With this mind, we decided to look into a new Harness Bar for the project evo.

Each person has a different use for a harness bar. We decided to use ours as a camera mount so we can record our track sessions. There are a fair amount of harness bar manufactures to choose from. We were more interested in getting the one that had the best bang for the buck. It came down to Sparco’s and GSC’s harness bar. In the end we felt that GSC had the better product for less and decided to go with theirs.

The packaged arrived within a couple days after I placed the order. It was very well packaged and everything was pretty well organized. The paint job on the bar was nicely done as well as the supporting bars.

Install
Installation was pretty simple. Overall it took us about an hour to get everything installed and adjusted correctly. We decided to use Loctite for the new bolts going in. It may not be necessary but I like the feeling of having something a little extra, especially for something like a seatbelt.

Conclusion
After the install we were happy to see how the bar looked inside the car. We test fitted our camera mount and ran a test recording around town. The end result, the bar worked extremely well for our purpose. The picture was steady and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The harness bar was not only easy to install but it could be easily removed when we have extra passengers in the back. For an everyday driver, you couldn’t ask for anything better for a harness bar.
