true

but im lookn for an opinion.. i dont use my car for anything other then daily driving.. is it better to get the radiator reconditioned? or should i bother iwth an aluminium or buy a 2nd hand radiator?

cheers

look at the price first of what you are willing to spend.
If your only daily driving you won't get any more out of the aluminum radiator than what you get out of a standard one.

But an OEM one is still quite expensive, the alloy one might end up cheaper

I'm going to suggest these Gates Racing hoses for you instead.. unsure if you have an R or not so heres for both:

^^^Check out the store too... lots of honda goodies... ordered a few things from there and its a good shop.

As for your radiator choice they seem reutable enough based on my quick net search and at least they have a website too:
