I need a NEW radiator for a good price

Theirs a large hole on the radiator and its irreplaceable. I found some cheap ones on ebay like this one.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...Q5fAccessories

but I wanted to know if I can get one cheaper elsewhere. If I cant would it be fine to get this one. Im a little confused because on the item description it says V6. But it also says 2.5.

go to the local radiator repair shop
If they cant fix it with new section parts, they will order you a good new one

Before you order, make sure that you order the right one for your car. When I ordered mines two years ago, I remember that there were two types of radiator for the 2.5TL. The two types that I remember are showa type and nippondenso type radiator. Mines was a showa type. Installation was straight forward and shouldn't take long. Good luck!

$140 here.

Here's a little secret:

http://www.radiatorbarn.com/

The only bad part is that they use UPS to ship. Be expected to have someone at the loading areas open the package to look inside.

~Cheers~

I still say support the local shops when you can- they can make a custom radiator for you in the process if you wanted!
if you track day the car for example--more fin area

Go check their price- and they do all the work on install if you want

If not locally, I would get it from Radiatorbarn,com.
They have life time warranty.
I purchased one and after year and half, it started to leak.
They replaced it free of charge. I had it at my door step they same evening.

What motor, what radiator do you have. I have one from my 97 3.2TL that is very good. Leave me a PM with where you are, and which model. I may be able to sell it for $75 with shipping.

I ended up buying the one from post #3. It was the best one I can get for that price. It took about 4 days for shpping, and we managed to replace it under an hour.
