Are our stock radiators made of aluminum? Because, theoretically that would be the only benefit. That and larger tubing?

Can't find much on this company either...

stock isn't alum..and is hella thing !! ....this is triple the size and in alum..

forged brand is made in Malaysia....but to me..a rad is same as a intercooler, as long as there are holes for the air to pass through...it will cool

btw: $250 including shipping if we get 10 orders
if not $300 including shipping

If it is possible to do the group buy in a couple of months I am interested..... I have trouble believing that at that price the fans are included...... Felix you must have a heavy right foot to need a radiator like that way up in the Great White North.

You might want to verify that the mounting points are the same. I believe the Fits in Singapore are of the same ilk as the Japanese Fits. Maybe Andrew can chime in since he recently swapped his USDM GE front for the JDM front and whether or not the mounting points for the radiator are different. Not sure about the GD, but I thought the front ends were also slightly different, not as drastic as the GE's elongation.

Yeah I guess I am pretty far north also.... The northern most town in Mexico before 1836 is a little southeast of here.

Does it Fit great? My radiator was obliterated by something that came off a vehicule in front of me and my local Honda Dealer want to rape me for a new one!! (800$) It seems smaller then the factory one, but maybe it's just me?

Marko!!

hi felix: does it work ?.

my radiator has a leak in the top plastic body, i just put a polymeric paste, but the pressure makes to continue leaking.

i dont want to take the risk of running with a repaired radiator, but here in Nicaragua there is no stock for this item.
