okay i've been having an on-going problem with my radiator cap and rust deposits....my car over heats when on the express way or going fast or for long periods of driving. I changed my temp gauge twice.... flushed my system 2wice... and now i look under my radiator cap and still see rust deposits!!! so i'm convinced its my radiator..... i'm looking to get a new one but am curious if i should go stock or go after market. right now my car has an exhaust, and intake. I just want to stop the over-heating.... nothin is worst then driving with the heat on in 90 degree weather. Any help is greatly apperciated. Thanks guys

Remember Cali said Evo 8 radiators work on our Gs so maybe you could look for one, or if you are looking into High Performance they have Koyo radiators for Evo 8's

Ya, just go to your nearest NAPA and get one from there. In my opinion they have the best OE replacements. In all honesty, dealerships buy a lot of their stuff from NAPA anyways. :D

+1 on that. Napa has the best OEM replacements...and much cheaper too with a good warranty.

Our dealer buys alot of crap from Napa too..but mostly for the older GM crap.

Nobody buys true OEM radiators. A OEM radiator is about $400. You can get a radiator which is an aftermarket replacment, but with OEM fitment and OEM performance but not made by mitsu, typically they are made by Koyo and Denso. I can probably get you one for about $125. I get wholesale pricing on stuff like that because I have a business account with the local parts place. PM me if you want one, I just need the year of your G and if its 2.4 or 3.0. I live in Central Islip, im about 15 mins away from you.
