Default Another Civic Radiator Thread

Got mine installed. I had originally planned to use a Mishimoto I got from my friend when he totaled his Civic, but it turned out to have several pin holes and creases that leaked. I put it off for a few months, but I finally ordered the eBay aluminum radiator. Now, if you ever order one, be careful to read the size. There's one guy who sells them $20 cheaper than the others, but his is a 1" single core. You want 2" or 2.25" core. Anyway, when I first opened the box, the first thing I noticed was that it was fully polished, something the Mishimoto radiator wasn't. It's got the same fitment as my headlights, meaning that not all bolts lined up . The fan has 3 out of 4, which is fine with me. Uses the same size hoses as our factory radiators, and I managed to reuse both my hoses with only a little trimming. I will say that I replaced those crimp clamps with true hose clamps. The lower one especially because it's so hard to fit a pair of pliers under there. Other than trimming the hoses and fan shroud, it was basically a drop in installation. Overall weight savings is about 7lbs, and it frees up a lot of space
