    w00t just ordered me a new radiator!

    I hear its real easy to do, and will be a good fix to my JB weld disaster of a radiator I have now.. lol. No overheating problems though!

    CAH said it wasn't hard, so it should be a breeze.

    I might consider doing that when I get moved and all that. The radiator is just too damn big in these cars.

    What about hoses? Stock works fine? Pics of the setup? Im interested

    Did I mention my car is in the shop to get the crossmember swapped with my new one equipped with all poly red bushings and new motor mounts? And a new rack? AND an alignment? How stoked am I?

    well the koyo is the best aftermarket one we could get but the half sized civic is better because it allows for more room in the engine bay
