I was honestly thinking of buying this on eBay when I was cruising through brake stuff. I'm impressed!

Just wrapped up my half radiator installation. It was cheap on Ebay, I think around 80 shipped. Its a 3 row out for a Civic application. I modified the inlet and outlets to increase the size up to 1.5", chopped off the filler neck and covered it up, fabricated new mounts, added a petcock valve, and to wrap it up made a new overflow tank.

Weight savings ended up being 17+ pounds. Kind of crazy, more than what I expected. I weighed both radiators filled with water to make the comparison. Some of the weight was due to removing the extra radiator fan too.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I purchased one of those frontline fab rear end covers at the end of September and just received it earlier this month. I got a little advice from Mondale on how to install it, thanks.

I also took the opportunity to take a touch of weigh out of it. The cover was a little heaver than the stock so I tubed up the rear brace to turn it into a net loss of weight. I used 1.25" 4130 .096 wall.

I have a couple of little projects and I will be ready for the season. I need to wire up the launch solenoid, send my injectors out to FIC for clean/balancing, drop the oil pan to take a peak at bearings, and get my turbo back from PTE(It was starting to leak oil into the exhaust housing).
