Ebay alloy radiator?

[civicx3]

Im after a new rad for my eg6 and looking around the more well known brands are big bucks and came across this on ebay, always stayed away from ebay mods but im thinking there isnt much to go wrong with a rad, but you get what you pay for so would anyone trust this on your car??

link is... HONDA CIVIC EK EG VTEC 92-00 ALLOY RACE RADIATOR RAD | eBay

cheers

Fitted a few of the J performance one's off of Ebay, Fitment is spot on and build quality is spot only thing that lacks on them is the drain plug they use a rubber Oring which don't last long so stick a fiber washer on there and your sorted.

Theses have been flow tested by a couple of member's on another forum against the Koyo radiator and the difference in flow rate was minimal.

Mines broke because a car accident, I even fix it and it is stilling cooling better then anything. See 63 SOLD and 99.7% positive feedback.

Go for it! They are good! I bought mines for $115.00 with free shipping

Sorry to bump this but I'm in need of a fresh radiator.

Can you still use the standard fan with this?

Apart from changing the drain plug washer any other issues?

Cheers

yeah i fitted standard fan with the toyosport one

Sweet!

Another stupid question now, Im sure I've read somewhere that the civic can self bleed itself is this right or?

As i'd like to fit it myself.

when i done mine, i just topped up the radiator then ran the engine with the rad cap off, once its upto temp and the fan ticks over etc the air in the system will rise and escape threw the top of the rad.
