Default Radiator cracked? no, stupid owns me!

This mornings thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=967866

My radiator didnt crack. I owned myself installing my SMSP header. Bent plastic fan a little too much, and it stayed at the bad angle apparently. Lucky for me it lasted the trip from NoVa to B -burg or i woulda been stranded. Took around 450 miles to come to this i figure.


Plastic is in fact, harder than metal. You can see the green fluid leaking out


And im polluting as well.

That sucks. On the bright side, whenever I do something like that it gives me an excuse to go and by something nice to replace it. Find yourself a Fluidyne, PWR, or something.

I was thinking about. But the car runs fine IMO with the stocker. No need for an upgrade in this area me thinks.

You're right, not much need to upgrade. In my situation, my wife gives me the evil eye from hell every time I even think about getting anything new for my cars so when something breaks I quickly thank the car gods and take advantage of the situation. For example, my clutch felt like it was starting to go out and by the time I was done "fixing the problem" I essentially built a new tranny. The best part of it was, not a single bad comment from the wife because it was all stuff that "had to be fixed."
