Default ALUMINUM RADIATORS

just curious, how many people use ebay aluminum radiators that go for $100 on FI cars and how well do they keep the engine cool.

I got mine off ebay, but it didn't cost $100... it was more like $350 and was designed for a teg.

Nice looking radiator. I need to trade my Integra Fluidyne for a halfsize.

since its a half size and designed for a teg, they extend the lower piece so that it will sit just like a stock radiator.

Using one right now actually. No leaks, No overheating or anything. Works for me? Drives normally like my stock integra radiator.

maybe you will keep your setup on the hush now that you have been jacked @ gunpoint.... there is no need to show off what you got. You will just get jacked again....

If someone ever tries to jack me again, they will be shot, I swear on my mother. I already got my gun permit and a glock.

I took my car out for the first time to street races. I was watching street races and did a burnout. later that night I got car jacked at gun point at a gas station. I didnt expect it to happen.
