need a new radiator?! COME IN!

as some of you guys know, i have bene having some overheating problems when im gunning it. never had the problem before. well today just for kicks i ran without the bumper off and kind of pushed her a lil bit. usually without the bumper it would over heat but it didnt overheat this time. i proceeded to try and make it overheat but it wouldnt overheat. this leads me to think i have a bad radiator.

basically my car overheats with the bumper and stays cool without the bumper. pretty logical but my car never overheated before, ever. do i have a bad radiator? what you think guys? i have a small leak in the system somewhere but im pretty sure it would not make my temp gauge read at the H. i refill the rad and overflow everyday. oh and does koyo make an OEM spec radiator? not like an expensive 300 dollar one. ebay has this koyo radiator here supposedly but its only 100 bucks. is it a fake? doesnt even show the koyo logo, just on the bottom right of it. looks like the koyo logo but i dont know. heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02...QQcmdZViewItem
