I had a slight heating problem when I turbo charged my 6th gen. The fluidyne radiator solved my problems. If I had to do it over I think I would have gotten the cheaper Koyo one.

i was fine w/ an all metal replacement from http://www.radiatorstores.com

ship to my door for a competitive price match of only $89 (that was 2 years ago) & lifetime warranty to boot.

great choice over high cost OEM. for a daily driver.

u going performance, then go w/ those bling-bling all aluminum racing rads or whateva

I just have an aftermarket radiator in my civic but I can't remember the name of it to save my life. The keywords when buying one are <U>"LIFETIME WARRANTY"</U>
This is one place where a Honda part is not a must.
