Well I got my 92 hatchback today but what did do??? I knew it was to low to the ground. But anyway I was backing out of my drive way and hear so scraping well then I look out in front of the car and I see a trail of water on the ground. Well what do you think it was....it was the radiater that was scraping on the ground and put a gash in my Fluidyne radiater which sucks ass. I didn't even have it 30 mins I swear I am pissed at myself but what can I do right. :doh:

Do you know a good way to patch it so I can get to the shop????

Put your stocker back in and drive it to the shop? what the hell did you scrape? I have a fluidyne in my '98 EX and it was in my '92 CX/B18C1 hatch and I never scraped it. I'd think the bottom of the rad support and the front tow hooks would bottom out long before the radiator would be touched? The fluidyne has a weird draincock (he he, I need to grow up) as opposed to most OE units, make sure it's tight and your radiator hoses are too unless you can physically see a hole in the radiator.

 

That sux man. Keep us updated.

 

Well since I didn't have the stock one I decided just take it out and take to the shop to get it fixed. I was wrong when I said I scraped the bottom there is a very small knick in the front of radiator not any bigger than the tip of a pencil. I should have it back today and I will be able to drive it to get it insured and tagged.

The reason I didn't have the stock radiator is because it came with the fluidyne in it already when I purchased it.

So what was the prob

 

I did not have a car at the time of the post cause my mom had my Celica and needed a way patch to get to the shop.

Very thing is cool now. I just need to get a tune-up.

Are you sure it didn't have a leak beforehand? It is very unusual to scrape the radiator.
