When I got a replacement for my rotted radiator for my old Civic, it was a fluidyne. It fit OK, but all the cheaper replacements seem to be of the universal variety, meaning they have the auto-trans coolers in them wether you have an auto or manual trans. Maybe if I spent more, it probably will have been more specific to the application.

The eBay special two core radiators are all a mildly modified car should need. Unless your making ungodly amounts of heat thru boost, there is no need for a huge *** radiator.

Is it worth it? No. Not when you can get a eBay special for 70-80 bucks made of all aluminum. I've had 2 in 2 different cars, never a leak.
