This company turned out to make a decent radiator. This company, however, needs to fire their R&D department! There is NO WAY they ever got this into a STOCK EF application!!! I had to mod all kinds to get this big A$$ bastard to fit into the car. I had to notch the subframe for a bolt boss just under the fan. I had to cut two more off, and i had to clearance the condensor fan mount just to get it to sit down into the car. after all that I found out the the posts that are mounted in center of each side of the tanks, should've been offset to compensate for the sheer girth of the new radiator...! Bleh< all in all I got it in, it's pretty and it WORKS! LOL!

Small update here. I just got through building a Prelude motor for a friend of mine. Put a few tricks in it! Well, he's a body guy... See where this is going? Yeah ya do! LOL! That's right! That lil Piece of Crap Hatch of mine is about to get some new sheen! Real paint this time, not the rattle-can crap! So I leave this one to the masses There are only two choices in which I'll go with this, either keep it two toned like it is or bust off with a whole color change... What do you guys think?? Help me out huh?

It's a bit brighter than what I was looking for but I can live with it! :) I was hoping for more of a candy but there was a small malfunction with the paint and a break down of communication. It's still gonna look sic!

Painter scared the bee-geezus outta me with this one...

"You like yellow, right?"
"WTF??"
He was using it as sort of a color primer so he wouldn't have to lay down so much red. Says the red is slightly more transluscent than he's used to.

It rained today so that put a bit of a damper on painting. :P
