little help deciding on a half radiator.
i'm going to buy a 92-95 rad and i found two on ebay.
1 is a dual copper core 1.25" thick rad , 2 is a single core 1" thick alu rad.

they both argue that theirs is the best, but i am asking my fellow ef'ers to help me decide.

I would have a hard time putting my faith in either one, especially at that price. Neither offers any kind of warranty(go figure). This is a vital component to your engine and if it fails you are up the creek. Do yourself a favor and go to http://www.radiator.com/ and order one from there. I got one for $100 shipped with a lifetime warranty. Plus, it showed up at my door in two days. Great OEM replacement and it works! They will also price match but I doubt you will beat them.
Forget the ebay radiators, when you pay a too good to be true price, you usually get a too good to be true part.

I didnt have to tilt mine because I had a place racing crossmember. MAD clearance. I bought one of those $50 aluminum 1" core ones on ebay. the quality on em looks REALLY good. they have plastic endtanks but the core looks SWEET. it doesnt look any lower of quality than your autozone radiators and I ran one of those fine for about a year on a previous rex. ill get some pics of the ebay radiator with a slim fan I mounted up to it. When I get the rex runnin Ill post some impressions of it .
thanks, for the last opinion. any more , im not sure which would cool better. does the stock fan fit on it with good clearance?
also how would one of these 12" fans work for cooling it. specs say 1400cfm https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=936861
he also has a 14" that i would get if the 12" isnt sufficient.

you can keep your ac, you would just need a slim fan on it.
