Is there a Swap-able radiator for the sedans ? i need one that is Bout maybe, 6 inches or so less in width. Everything else like thickness and height is fine. But My projectors stick inward too much, and i have to modify radiator to fit them properly, means i have to cut corners off bout 3 inches or so deep. But then i'd have to saughter each lil ridge together, and i'm too lazy for somin like that. Being Mexican doesnt mean i like work.. :bandit: :rolleyes: :flipa:
But any help iz appreciated !

U can get a 6th gen civic radiator. Those things are pretty small but u have to customize it to fit it right. I can't tell you how since i never did it but i did see a crx with a 6th gen radiator.

STD hatches come with a slightly shorter radiator, they arent half size,but they are about 4 inches shorter than the Si radiators. try that one, it might work. i have three of them if you need one.

my brother has a 91 STD that the radiator cracked all to pieces so he put the 90 teg one in. bolts right in no problems.
