Alright well after feeble atempts at looking for a all aluminum radiator, i was wondering if anyone knew of other ones that fit 100%. I had searched and found some mention of 90-93 integra rads fitting as well as maybe the cb7 accord rads. If I cant find one fullsize then i might end up just getting a civic halfrad.

i agree, the built in trans cooler is crap o nthe civic half size... really if you want full sized the 90-93 teg one isnt that hard to install.. just modify the bottom tabs i belive

Another 40-100 buck on top of the rad...ill pass. :) Anyway as soon as I swap I wont need the cooler so I can just block it off again if I get an auto rad.

I have my old B&M trans coolers (two) if you want to use them. They have been sitting in my shed for a while so I hope they aren't rusty.

Let me know if you want them and i can start pricing shipping.

they fit where the condenser used to be.

You don't have to plug the A/T cooler when you swap, by the way.

Mine fell off on the BMW, but I also have a decently sized cooler in between the radiator and condenser:naughty:.
