Eff that. Get a 4cyl 2nd gen probe rad, do a little fabrication, and tuck it under the core support. It's wider, a touch shorter, and will net you all the clearance you could ever need.Current:

Either way I'm sure I will figure something out lol-Jack

Inlet and outlet are diff. Plus I don't believe there is the surge tank on the 4cyl. Been a while since I looked, but it was a bitch finding the rad for my wagon. Plenty of 4cyl, not many jy kl rads were available in good shape. My rad was $42 Ryan, how much was yours?Current:

Civic radiator.... Never again will I use one. I can't figure out how anyone can even use one. I had one on my 323 for a short time while I had the original repaired (had a leak, and I had to braze it.) and the thing overheated no matter what I tried. As soon as I went back to the stock radiator, no more problems. Keep in mind, I was all motor. Let alone trying to cool a car with a power adder.My family has lots of bg's!

Anyways, today I installed "premium rotors" and ceramic pads on Lily. Also had a front caliper bushing kit to install since the ones on the RF caliper were swollen...well that didn't fix it and it's still dragging and making crappy noises lol so I'm going to pull the caliper off and file the inside down a bit to open up the clearances...no biggy there....
BUT (luckily) started with the LR caliper and it gave me nothing but grief, the piston wouldn't retract back into the bore, couldn't get the new pads on...kept working the mechanism back n forth...got it to retract finally and got the new pads on but it kept freezing up when I'd clamp everything down to set the piston clearance up...so I found a spot where it won't freeze up but god is my pedal travel something nasty right now because of it lol...
So need to work the RF caliper tomorrow which should only take 45mins I hope, then get to slap on a rear caliper when I get to London to visit the rest of my inventory lol-Jack
