Last sunday night I was waiting at my friends house with my car running.... all of a sudden I see smoke coming out of my hood.. I pop open the hood to see that my radiator had a long crack right across from where the headers is atm. The high pressure was squriting out my coolant right onto my hot headers causing the smoke effect. Since yesterday was holiday I couldn't get the radiator from honda now i'm stuck at home today waiting for them to open so I could get my *** to work and what sucks even more is that I could skip work, no biggie but it's my first day of school so I still gotta make the 35 mile drive to get there!!!!! Has anyone had a problem like this before? Does anyone know how much a radiator costs?

if u want something better... id say go with fluidyne... i got mine through carparts for 300 shipped... dont think u can anymore thoughwithout a coupon... hopefully u know someone and then maybe u can get it for under 300

 

edit

 

Just take it to a muffler or radiator shop and have them fix it. It shouldn't cost that much, and will be much cheaper than buying a new one.

 

For a temp you could put that crap......never mind cause that will go through your block too....but, I was going to say you could put that instant radiator fix stuff that you poor into your water but, take the bus and get a new radiator.

 

http://www.radiator.com. Costs about $140 for a brand new radiator and free next day delivery.

 

radiator.com is $188 and its for the LS/GS

 

damn that sucks!!!

 

All integra radiators are the same, I'm using a GSR one right now

 

happened to mine and a friends. those radiator tops are made of plastic, i cant believe they would use plastic where hot *** water is. Anyways I got an allmetal one for about $150, dont know about installtion, but my dad put it in about 5-6 hours, while I was at work.

 

i had mine crack on the pastic too..
i tried to fix it with this industroweld pastic and it failed miserably.
i ended up getting an all metal radiator.
it was 200somethin installed including coolant flush and new hoses.

 

i heard that the 3rd gen integs all do that eventually... but good news everyone bought a fluidyne one and intalled it myself (save me $$ plus it's very easy) so now i'm up and running.. thanks for all your input!!

 

try a junk yard....we picked up a jdm civic (not that it matters) radiator for 50 including the cap and hoses. i Naji @ honda/acura palace....

 

how much did you pay for the new radiator if you dont mind telling??

 

hey ek9t, is it possible to get the fluidyne for the same price from carparts now? 300 shipped, damn that's a good deal.

 

SPNHB IS RIGHT... FINDING IT IN THE JUNKYARD WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. SAVE TIME, SAVE LABOR... IT'D BE EASIER IF YOU HAD THE REPAIR MANUAL, OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK.

 

I got the radiator at a hook up price $340
