Anyone know where i can get a EF slim Radiator the 92+ civics dont work... i found this on ebay but the 16 1/2" height dimension makes me believe its too tall. i was a sucker for the 92 del sol radiator and im not doing that cocked crap... gotta make room for the turbo

3 options you ready?
1. Buy an innovative racing x member which drops down 2 inches and allows you to run an ebay radiator or a stock eg radiator
2. Buy a full race x member and their matching radiator
3. Gangster lean the **** out of yoru radiator.
Ive done #1 and didnt like it, currently doing option 3 and hating it, bout to go with option 2 since I already ahve the cross member

i already have option 1 and it still dont work out... well its the newest verison of the innovation traction bar.. i think generation 3 or something haha... nice try though... but yeah my stock eg rad doesnt fit.. i'd say an 1 inch too tall
I'm telling you, these are your only options! I am in the same boat as you are in. I need a shorter radiator and the only place that offers one with enough clearance is Full Race and its 300 damn dollars which sucks. I had the innovative bar and it cleared just fine, but then again I didnt have the traction bar setup. The regular innovative bar drops down about 2in which allows those ebay rads and eg ones to clear. If you do find something shorter other then full race please let me know

Hmm the support in the hood that could be an option but i dont think it will be enough to clear about an extra inch... i have cut the rad support to allow for the bottom to drop in but the drain plug and the outlet pipe is only letting it go so far

does anyone have any objection to putting a motrocycle radiator in there? its tons smaller and i could just zip tie it in there plus... kinda sink it into the bumper area there with the little space that is provided in the rad support area if your following me...
pretty much use this raditor, just get some measurements... im sure you can make it work..

And you plan on fitting that in your car how? Where are you going to hook both your hoess up to. Quit being a cheap *** and buy a full race radiator or just lean the damn thing back problem solves. Instead your trying to half *** it and you will get half *** results that will cost you more in the end. Not trying to be a dick but damn son.
You can cut the webbing it should allow the EG radiator to clear. Im about to actually cut mine tomorrow until I buy my Full Race radiator in 2 weeks.
Just a FYI, Dodge Neons radiators are the same as EG's are far as hose location, they might be a little shorter if you wanna goto the junkyard and start measuring
