not gonna go into it right now. this reply would be 2 pages long. but go to paypalsucks.com or paypalwarning.com. i just did a ~10 page case study on consumer protection for my finals. so i really dont feel like saying it again.


i will say one thing in ebays defense....its usually the seller that ends up getting shafted...usually

Hes to good for it, hes a "law" grad, haha, Ebay is perfectly safe. I got my aluminum 1/2 rad 2" core for $130 locally through ebay, just went and picked it up

in your case, yea ebay was 100% safe. you showed up at his place with money in hand and left with what you bought.

but say you pay through paypal and have to wait for it....my main thing is how do i trust someone with my credit information(paypal employee) who was flipping hamburgers 2 months ago and has had maybe 2 days training, paypal CSR's have a larger turn-over ratio than cell phone companies. for what reason im not sure, but they go through reps like crazy.....and fat chance getting much done through there "contact us" email option...seeing as how they "maximized" their profits by outsourcing that department to asia.


but one thing im not afraid to correct you on....no, im not a "law" grad. but i am pre-law, 2 more years until i finish my 4 yr degree then LSAT test decides if i go to law school

Speaking of slim fans, I made my own slim fan on my EG. Well I actually used a fan from a Hyundai :6

Works perfect as a slim fan and it gave me my 2" of clearance that I needed.

Blows better than a stock honda fan.

Almost fits right in. all you do it cut off the mounting tabs, cut out some of the shroud in the way of the water neck, put in 2 screws in to the bottom to brace against the aluminum lip on the rad, zip tie the top through the original holes where the EG fan screwed in to and wire it up.

This is the pic of the blades, I couldnt find a pic of the whole fan with the shroud but its really thin compared to the Honda fan. If anyone knows what year and model Hyundai fan it is, post up! Remember. It MUST be a pull fan and not a push fan.

I'll try to take a pic of it installed in my car sometime this week if I'm working on my car.

yeah but even if it was a push fan, couldn't you flip that around somehow, or just mount it on the front of the radiator? It's not like us nogs don't know how to fab stuff

No because your intercooler is on the other side of the rad.
