I just recieved my Koyo radiator and decided to install it. As I was installing it I noticed a couple of things that didn't really fit right. First, I had to install my two fans after the radiator was mounted in the car because it didn't fit when I tried to fit the radiator with the fans already on. The next thing I noticed was that the cruise control unit which is right next to the radiator is in the way of the fan on the driver side. So I had to cut into the fan. The second place that was in the way of mounting the drivers side fan was the front engine mount, so I cut a place for that also. Then the last thing that I noticed was that the A/C line was in the way of the passenger side fan, so I had to force it out of the way. Did anyone else notice these situations when installing their Koyo? Thanks

No, if you ordered the right part, it should fit fine. Otherwise, they might have sent you a radiator for a different car. I'm pretty sure it's not for the ST becuz they DO NOT make Koyo Radiators for the ST models. Only GT models. Are you sure you didn't order from eBay? I garentee you they sent you a radiator for a different car. Find a part number on the radiator. Should be Part#R1958.

I did buy it from eBay, but the number on the box is R1958. If I have time I'll post some pictures.
