Default Honda Radiator swap

An idea I toyed with months (if not years) ago, swapping from a standard rad, to a thicker but shorter rad.



Well after suffering with cooling issues recently on the standard rad I decided to go for it, I didnt expect it to fit aswell as it does, just need to drill a new mount to the car and tidy some of the hoses up now.





Before





After - Header tank relocated too





Cooling issues have disappeared (so far), Looks better and has created more room in the engine bay = WINNER!

Nice job! I thought that would be the best option for you. How does it hold up in standing traffic? I hear there is LOADS of traffic in England.



Did you ever get that pusher/puller sorted out?

It seemed fine earlier, will know more tomorrow as I have to drive through London, AKA the worlds biggest carpark.



Havent sorted it yet as there is no room at all there at the minute, will see if it holds up without one first, else I'll have to adjust the mounts. May just mount it in the gap to keep my aircon too though
