It's still working great for me. No issues. Yes, works great with OEM hoses/clamps.

Dude, it's a legit radiator. It's not some koyo or mishomoto crap. CSF is legitimate. They've already made this radiator available for other vehicles for years, including race vehicles which I have for years on my time attack miata which gets straight abused. You don't have to sweat the quality of the unit.

I'm out here stressing it in the AZ desert. It works better than my OEM unit ever did. As far as trans temp cooling performance, It seems to work at least as well as OEM. Hard to say since I've had an auxiliary trans cooler for a long time, both before and after the CSF.

If you're on the fence and want/need a new radiator for your 3rd gen, you won't be disappointed.

(wonder how many sales i've gotten CSF by now lol)

Good to know. Can you use the OEM radiator cap too? I notice the CSF cap is rated for 1.4 bar. OEM for a 1996-2000 is 0.9 bar. I would imagine the higher pressure cap would just move the failure point in the system to something less forgiving.
