please do a nice detailed list of things for the civic radiator. that is by far the cleanest mount job i have seen. like what did you do for the lower mounts? the place you got it from would be nice also.

Believe it or not once i figured out how to mount it it was pretty easy. The radiator is a civic aluminum radiator off ebay. As for the lower mounts I reused the original driverside radiator mount. To get the right hight i had to flip it over so i got an addtional 2 inches of height. for the 2nd lower mount I used one of the orginal upper mounts. I drilled a hole through the cross member and tapped it then just set the mount there and screwed it in. I only used one screw because there was a pre exsisiting hole in the memeber so im still not sure how long that will hold.
As for the top i went to lowes and picked up a strip of aluminum and a couple of screws and nuts. I drilled a hole in one end for the knob to fit into. Then i bent it down and back about 1/2 in so it would line up with the frame. I screwed in one piece to the frame, using one existing hole and adding another one. Then i lined up the 2 pieces of aluminum and bolted them together. I smoothed all the edges out with and osilating sander. It wasnt terribly hard just time consuming. I should also mention that the hoses do not fit correctly at the moment, I have one being shipped from summit to me.

sweet! it looked like you used a upper as a lower in one pic but i didn't know about the otherside. well looks like i need to start my radiator plans then. that looks like it sits far enuf to the side it will clear just about any turbo i would want to throw in my copper car. thanks for the help. im sure i will modify it from your ideas to some point. are you happy with the radiator? like is of good quality?

Nothing bad about the radiator yet. Oh I should also mention the fan fit pretty nicely with the radiator. Only needed cutting of the plastic in a few pieces. The only thing to becarful of is the radiator inlets and outlets are a tiny bit smaller than stock. The hose still tightens around them with out leaks so far. It keeps the car cool with lots of room for my future turbo project.

^ all things i like to hear! i will jsut run universal hoses to it for simplicity reasons.
