it appears my radiator has little life left, so my question is where the best place would be to get a replacement. I am jsut getting a stocker because its all i can afford. I heard CAP would be the cheapest way as far as a new one would go. any ideas let me know. thnx all

aluminum suckers off ebay are pretty cheap

ya but are they any good, like will they last like a stocker?

Ive had my ebayer for 2 years with no problems.

My friend got a dual core on his EG. Seems to work fine, nice and cheap of ebay. Even a good radiator is not that much money plus they are really easy to install.

ya it looks like i might go ebay, just gonna c how much different the price is at CAP. ya i will b e doing it myself no sense in paying someone to do something easy. thnx for the help everyone

What did you end up doing?

eBay is a great place to source things, it gets bad reps b/c of so-called "ebay parts" meaning no-name brand SHIT,and bad sellers,just make sure they have good feedback

my freinds turbo LS has a ebay IC and it works fine..

i ended up buying a radiator off ebay, it was like 60 bucks shipped. I went to autozone this morning bought the upper and lower hoses. once the radiator comes in i just gotta get new coolant and put it in.

I've seen ebay radiotors work perfectly fine. If everything is put together correctly, which is not hard to do at all, everything should work out for a good while. I had to replace my radiator back when i first bought my old ls. i went with a real cheap one from napa or somethin. i didn't know about the ebay ones back then but i would have gone with that just to save a little bit of money.

ok i got a wiked noob question.....since i cannot exactly lay under my car as it is, i need to jack it up. I know the jack spots but where do u guys put your jack stands to hold the car up?

if you wanna do it the right way i got my Visteon (C&R Racing) radiator from kingmotorsports with a fan that flow 50% more cfm...its a champ i never go above 1/3 of the way on my temp. guage.

i already got my radiator, but if i end up building a motor i would get a better flowing one. right now i just need to get it done so i do not need to worry about blowing this already bad one. Jack stand, where do you people put yours to hold up the car?

I usually jack the car up with the front tow hook or front cross member, so i can place the jack stands under the front jack points.

Also to state the obvious: Be very careful to pick a solid spot to jack from if its not the tow hook, so the car doesnt slip off the jack.

so u put the jack stand where the jack points are...? just want to make sure

the way i do it is i jack it up on the front cross member then i put the jack stands under the jacking points. that is honestly about the best place to put jack stands on our cars.

ok thnx alot guys, i need to get his done but i keep procrastinating.

like i said i keep procrastinating, but i was driving to Summer Nationals in Worcester MA and my car almost overheated so i am doing today or 2morrow. How much coolant do u guys put in cause i need to pick some up, but i do not want to buy way too much and i def do now want to buy too little? thnx again for the help everyone

On my civic it only took a little over a half gallon to fill it up after replacing the radiator. And a touch more to bleed it. One gallon should be all you need max.

very nice, when i went to get coolant i didn't even think how much i would need. thnx man
