Radiator options in 5th gen hatch?
I've been driving my 5th gen hatch a little more lately and noticed that it wants to heat up while I am idling. I want to get a bigger radiator but don't want to spend alot of cash right now. I'm just wondering if the 3rd gen integra radiators fit, or maybe any other oe honda ones. I might just have to grit my teeth and get a CR or something like it.

Check to make sure your fan comes on. If you have a temp meter it should come on at about 190-200 degrees F. Maybe change you coolant and use a 70% water 30% coolant mix with 8 capfulls of water wetter. If you don't have leaks you shouldn't have to change parts. Also check your T-stat which is less expensive to replace than a radiator. Start simple and work you way to a solution, not just a quick fix.
