I know in the past, Fluidine radiators have been a favorite in both import and domestic cars requiring better cooling. I don't know if they make them for our cars but they use to make their radiators so they could use all the factory locations.

Yea im pretty sure fluidine makes them for 7th gen. I know they make them for 6th because i had one in my old civ. 97. I think mine was listed at like 360 but you can find them for 250-300.. Great radiators..

i e-mailed both fluidyne and flex-a-lite (for fans and radiators) a while back.. they both replied with "there are no items for your car currently in production" you can prolly e-mail them and ask if they do yet.. but yea.. there needs to be fluidyne/flex-a-lite stuff for our 7th gen's...

Whats the difference with a 1 row and 2 row radiator??

alright i looked up 2 row radiator on yahoo and it shows alot of fluidyne rads and other brands as 2 and 3row. I guess this means better cooling...so Ill order one of those race radiators from importpartsbin

if a radiator has 2 rows, then air passes over 2 rows to get cooled, as opposed to 1... so i guess the more rows, the more the air gets cooled, but the thicker it gets.. (i think)

i thought i posted that earlier, but my computer was lagging so much i didnt know whether or not i posted crap...

Is it bad that it gets thicker? What im trying to say is if they are all the same price should i just go with the 2 row

i think its a matter of engine bay room when the radiator gets thicker

naturally aspirated id go with oem replacement....turbo or supercharged id go fluidyne...unless theyre almost the same price...which would suprise me

Yea i was talking to the guy on the phone, and he says he's surprised my insurance company is letting me go with aftermarket parts. Well insurance company doesn't know. He also said that the aftermarket parts he caries dont compare with the OEM parts. So i found a oem used radiator that i will use. And I thought someone allready said fluidyne doesn't make a radiator for our car.

Hey I got a question about the radiator support, think i need the OEM support or will an aftermarket support do just fine?

either one should work... if yer goin with an OEM radiator, the fitments of aftermarket and OEM should work just fine...
