radiators ??

i have been searchin around and have found no luck of a performance radiator for our cars. I was lookin for one because i'd just feel safer when i'm runnin around 11 psi. i dont want to be at the track and just blow the hell out of it, better to be safe than sorry. if anybody has seen one let me know.

here is what fluidyne sent back on makin a radiator for our cars .....

Thanks for contacting FLUIDYNE High Performance. I can agree with you on the potential market for the 2001 and up units, as the Civics are simply one of the most affordable and easily modded cars out there. Unfortunately for us, the biggest issue that we have to deal with is not knowing the market, but rather the ability to go through the necessary stages from R&D to production. When an application is approved for development, it must get scheduled in. The schedule can vary greatly depending on the length of time needed for applications in progress, which can include some lengthy delays.

As such, I do foresee us making a unit for those application, but I'm unsure of when it would possibly get R&D'd out and then become ready for production. I'd like to say sometime in 2004, but I don't have any confirmation whatsoever. We do have a unit coming out for the 2003 Civic Si's in probably two months, but that is a different design than the earlier models and would not be a direct fit to my understanding.

We do appreciate your consideration and hope we can assist you in the future.

you would think the companies would lean towards the other 7thgens seeing as how bad the si did in sales
