New Radiator
Hey fellas,
Has anybody bottomed out their car that hard, that it cracked the radiator on the bottom. I need to replace mine and i am just having a hard time imagining the car would bottom out THAT LOW.
Just wondering though.

Re: New Radiator (toygsr)
Is that why you're replacing your radiator, because you bottomed out? DAMN! 
If that's so, I'd be worried more about other engine components than an easy/cheap to replace radiator. Wouldn't the oil pan hit WAY before the radiator?
EDIT: I just re-read your post. So you didn't actually bottom out that low, you're just asking if it's possible. I guess it would be possible, but there would be a lot of other damages if that happened. I would venture to guess that your bottom endtank cracking isn't caused by a bottom-out. Honda radiators generally fail at the endtanks because they are plastic. It's pretty common. When replacing it, try to get one with meta endtanks.
