My car will be 17 come this January and I've been pretty good about  
replacing/upgrading parts as they wear. Now, it's time to replace the  
radiator.  I drive/own a '91 SE-R and I know that the nx radiator is an  
upgrade, and that's a good option.  I've found some pretty fair prices  
for the nx rad on the "intraweb", but I also found some other choices.

Not too shabby for under $200... just have to worry about whether the  
stock fans can still be used.

Pretty good price for an aluminum rad, but I've since been told that  
these are just Chinese junk... who'd thunk it, for that price;).

For under $200, and all aluminum.

I'm in one of my "but, and, or" loops.  Quandry, just get a stock nx  
radiator, the 2" thick all metal, or the last aluminum radiator.  I  
kind of like the idea of the aluminum, even though it's not as thick as  
the stock nx... 1 1/4"  .vs.  15/16", I think the thinner aluminum may  
cool better than the nx.

In other words, what do y'all think and what kind of input can you  
share with me?  I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Peas us Riced,
