42mm Core Civic Radiators - Anyone used these?

[davehart]

Looking up new radiators and found this one for sale on the e of the bay.

Very cheap price if you compare it to one that looks identical to one that id workz sell and a fair bit cheaper than one Tuning Developments sell, although theirs ships for 185 and you get a fan.

Anyone had experience with this one?

i have a civic radiator also but it has been modified to move the lower hose point over to the other side to keep the water hose away from the manifold

What's the recommended fan size to go with one of these on the Starlet?

I use a stock fan, as long as the fan is reducing the air pressure behind the core, air will flow through it.

I use an ASI rad like this, Chinas best lol, works well all the same.

I bought mine from speedvision, had no problem with it, the supplied fan too, although it was shipping from america will add cost

I used one of the 10" fans on FleaBay . there about £20 and come with all the fittings. cant fault it

just make a few brackets from sheet metal and use the bolt holes from the old radiator fittings. Ive seen people who just cable tie it in places .. lol ..

would there be any benefit in running a fan either side?

For the past week it was £99 for the kit. Today, £199!! Obviously got their figures wrong. Damn it, should have ordered one at the lower price, they would have to have honoured it!! Balls.
