Mishimoto Radiator and Slim Fan w/ hoses

[ivicR]

So this summer my car began overheating on one of the 100+ days going up hill of all things... could have a been a number of things to cause this. Old fluid, bad radiator, etc... i choose to pretty much take care of them all at once. Really hoping to not spend too much all this, i decided to go with Mishimoto. There are mixed reviews out there, but mostly positive.
So i got the Dual Core Aluminum Radiator, Slim Fan, Hoses, genuine Honda fluids and thermostat.
The hoses were a pain in the D***, but most upgraded silicon hoses are going to be. Had to use screw tight clamps instead of the stock squeeze tight b/s.
Now the first time i started the car and waited for the fan to come on... first, it took so damn long... Second, when the fan finally came on... kinda scared me for a sec. since im so used the stock fan... i wasnt ready for how loud it was gonna be.
But damn, it pushes some serious air... Havent had an issue yet and its been a few good months.
Granted its a lot cooler now, but i will update on the next hot day i go driving...
One small issue is that the coolant resevoir had to cocked to the side a bit to accomadate the larger dual core...
running on a stock VX motor...cant knock the gas mileage..!

overall im very satisfied with Mishimoto products...
