:honda:eyz all, my radiators been leaking from the top, i think is that the "top tank"?
u can c in the pic where the fluidz ended up
i read ppl say that u can just take it to a radiator place n they can repair it?
i got a quote for 320 for replace n fit, can anyone tell me if this is an ok quote and if it can be repaired, is it worth doing over a replacement, i.e. does it fix it gud for a long time or is it just temporary?
cheers!

I just purchased a new aluminium radiator off ebay for around AU$180 shipped, I will let you know what the quality is like when I receive it, but it might be worth looking into one as it may work out cheaper.

would the radiator be an ASI brand one? i just went on ebay n noticed a heap of em
I had the same problem on my B16A2 radiator (top tank busted).
Got quoted $180 to replace the top tank (when supplying them with the bare radiator - out of car). Bought a 'cheap' alloy radiator - lasted for about 6 months then started leaking out of the fins.
Removed the 'cheap' alloy p.o.s radiator and fitted an aftermarket OEM equivalent replacement (plastic tanks) for $150. Still going strong!
Moral of the story - you get what you pay for. Generally when it sounds too good to be true it usually is... Especially when it's an eBay item!
I had the exactly same issue. Bought a cheap alloy one and it leaked. Ended up replacing it with a koyorad. May as well fix the problem so that it isnt going to happen again.
using a PWR radiator.
never looking back.
=)
lol 320 installed.....your getting ripped
it will take 5mins to install easy as
Time to get an aftermarket alloy radiator. :D And they are simple as to replace. :thumbsup:
any advice on the cheapest alternative? its pretty much just a wife beater at the moment cuz im yet to find funds for the project :p
ive read a couple o forums about ASI n it seems like it goes ok... 1 year warranty too...???
I purchased an ASI radiator and slim fan, seem good for the price but only time will tellQuote:
