you usually cant replace that part, it is jsut a plastic tank ontop of the radiator. If you are any good with tool you can do the work yourself. I got my radiator at a local shop for around $150.

I bought an OEM style radiator from http://radiatorbarn.com for about $100 shipped. I'd highly recommend them. Good service and fast shipping.

Replacing a radiator is very easy to do. You don't need to spend 220 (although that's not that bad of a price when installation is included). Like what the other members have said, they run around 100 to 150 for a new one and 45 mins later you are done.

2 of my radiators cracked within a year. i guess this is a common problem with integras so i got a pwr half sized aluminum radiator and that thing will last forever. best thing for you to do is just spend the extra money and not have to worry about it again

You mean common problem for all plastic end-tanked radiators (after a few years have passed)?

My OEM radiator cracked somewhere on the bottom about two years ago. The car is a '96 and had ~130k miles on it at the time. I replaced it with a plastic end tanked one, and haven't had problems... yet.

dont get radiatorbarn radiator, i made a post about it.. i have been through 3 of those pieces of ****! yes they are supposedly all aluminum (endtanks) although one was plastic, so i went through 2 alum and 1 plastic end tank.. they do keep their word on warranty but what about all the labor i have had to put in???

ps. i went through all those radiators in like 3 months, i dont care.. crappy products anyone can disagree with me and what not, i'm just trying to watch out for you bro, do it once and do it right get an all aluminum race radiator or a new OEM.

pss. i put in a new thermostat, radiator cap, upper and lower hoses, new heater core too. my car never overheated or even ran hot so i seriously doubt that there was anything blocking my coolant passages building pressure in the system as they say. i think they are just cheap radiators since they all cracked in the same spot lifetime warranty? how do they do that? cheap radiators that they know they will have to keep replacing when i called the last time he tried to act like i ordered my first one a longggg time ago. heh 3-4months? i think a typical rad should last atLEAST 3-4 years ha! booo radiatorbarn.com
