Radiator Shops, How extensive of modifications?
 
Well my car is just about done, one thing that didn't pan out as i would have liked, i have a aluminum dual core radiator in the crx.
Can a radiator shop cut 2 inches off of the drivers side of it and 2 inches off the top then reweld it? How much would something like that cost?

you might be able to get away with cutting down the width but not the height. if you look at the rad core, and visualize what youd be cutting off you would understand why it isnt possible.

Ron Davis radiators will custom build one to your specs. All tig welded, nice stuff. Pretty cheap as well. My buddy got one for his SR20DET swapped 510 ratsun.

I don't understand why they can't cut the top down. Yea it is a EG all aluminum radiator.

get a nice crosssmember and a little lean to fit that. way better to spend $$ on a decent crossmember than a radiator

Am rocking a jk motorsports cross member rite now with the 2nd gen heim's and lca connectors. It still sits two inches high and needs about 2 inches cut off driver's side.
