i was looking into getting a koyo rad off ebay for the accord in the event the stock one blows up somehow when i go turbo. im just wondering what the top and bottom tanks are made out of, does anybody know?

yeah mine is plastic...but yeah...you cant beat lifetime warranty so if it blows up you get a new one free.

Get a CSF radiator. It's all metal and I got mine for about $150 brand new.

I have a Modine all metal in my Integra GSR, I think the CSF one for that car had plastic tanks is why I chose Modine. Of course, on the flipside, Modine might have an all metal for the Accord as well.

its like $145USD shipped to my place, and UPS 'fuck me in the ass' fees to go with it. elijah was using the stock rad when he went turbo, so i guess it cant be that bad can it?
