like i fill it and 2 days later it empty. all i can see is the coolent coming out of the top radiotor hose when i start it in the morning.
Maybe take it to a mechanic to see where and why it's leaking?
What state?

should it matter that the radiotor is from my d16y8? i had conversion done on iut.
Maybe if you tell us what ****ing motor was put into the car ?
If its a C32 then probably not

uhhh ummmmm ehhhhh get the mechanic that did the installation to check it??? Here's what you do bring it to him, he'll do the tricky bit which is hook up a compression tester and pump till 15psi and watch it for about 5 minutes to see if it holds, that bit gets me all the time, just so dam tricky and hard :p.

didn't the mech do a compression test before placing the radiator back in? Should have, and you don't really need a new one you can use Q bond or something equivalent to seal the crack, assuming it's only a small crack.

ye but the radiator is from a d16ye and i ran the red coolent throught it before but after the conversion it was changed back to the green coolent.

You need a new radiator top tank not a whole new radiator
Usually under $200 fitted
Because they are plastic these days this shit happens; and often you can test it all you won't, but you won't know about it until it actually cracks and starts pissing out water

i got a whole new radiator for $160 for a gen2 crx...
*Sigh* I said usually under $200 I didn't say that it was $200 did I?
Some top tanks are more expensive than others; and at times if you can get a good price a new radiator maybe cheaper... big whoop wana fight about it?

hehehehe sorry bro:D
just thought i would add that i bought a whole new radiator pretty cheap
so ppl know that they have an option to buy new, if they can find it cheap, or rebuild the current radiator, which ever one works out cheaper...
not everyone knows bout cars so they might get ripped off by the mech
but i totally agree with u:thumbsup:
