Radiator rupture
My radiator ruptured yesterday after scraping my front end pulling into a parking lot. The rupture was on the drivers side on the "post" that goes inside the bushing. It also looks like my ZZP IC was pushed upwards into the bumper frame and got a decent dent.... FML.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Yup im actually on my third radiator now haha been able to get them warrantied tho since theres no actual damage to the radiator just the intercooler. Somehow I never seem to get close to hitting the bumper tho.

Well its good to hear im not alone. I got a replacement radiator for 80 bucks and I decided to get some nice replacement hoses from treadstone. Too bad im broke or I would grab a lower charge pipe while its nice and easy to get to.
