Radiator Recommendations
May I have a few recommendations on radiators and where to purchase them? Would also like recommendations on hoses. Anything to watch for when installing?
I noticed a a couple wisps of vapor from the front of the car this morning at a light, so when I stopped to get gas I checked it. At the top of the radiator where the plastic meets the metal seam, I saw a very SMALL amount of liquid. The hose was fine and there were no obvious cracks-so it's probably a small hairline fracture right at the seam. No overheating or any drama.
Considering this is the original radiator (263,xxx miles), I'd say I got my money's worth.
Thanks for your help.

OK. My Koyo radiator is on the way....Are there any details I need to know when installing it?
Do those rubber washers just pop out of the tabs on the top to remove the radiator or is there more involved?

Its pretty simple, I think there is a write up but I'm not sure... I did flush the system and replaced with Honda Blue coolant. Thats no fair you got 2xx,xxx out of your radiator and I got like 7x,xxx..

After looking at things, it didn't look very difficult so I went ahead and switched it out. Very easy job, so I'm back in business. Don't forget to transfer the rubber "bump stops" from the old rad to the new one!. Total time with refilling and bleeding the system was MAYBE two hours, and I took my time about it. I'll have some pictures up later.

I have some pictures of the new and old radiator (in and out of the car) up. Feel free to look if interested.
