Re:small radiator for CRX?
I'm also planning on useing either the jimfab or z10 for my project. I was planning on useing the civic rad. Is John useing a custom crossmember? I'm wondering why the rad sits too low...I would reread the original post but as you all know it's down. Shouldn't a 5th gen rad sit right on top of the aftermarket crossmembers? Is the neon rad a bit shorter?
As far as the cost of the premade crossmembers keep in mind the whole insurance deal. I was speaking to a friend in insurance and if you have somthing that is "not reccomended" for street it could (if they could figure it out) cause issues. Is the extra $ worth it for the Z10 that has "for street and track" listed...hmm. I wonder how they came to those conclusions, and I wonder what thier liability is. And what sucks more is the extra price you have to pay for the Z10's if you are using a D series...damn man.

Re:small radiator for CRX?
im having a custom crossmember made (there is another post about that), not sure how much clearance that will provide.
i scored the radiator though! its from a 75 Civic and it about half the size of the radiator in my CRX now (generic aftermarket Civic/CRX replacement). i will try to post some pics of it and some dimentions later...

Re:small radiator for CRX?
well here it is 
:
was trying to strip the flaking paint off then sray it with another coat of paint.
the radiator measures: 15 inchs wide (not including the braket), about 16.5 inchs tall, and 2 inchs thick.
im going to intall it with a slim high flow fan (~1000cfm, 10-12inch)...
