I have coolant everywhere! Looks like its coming from all around the top of the radiator. So, is there any radiator thats better than another? If I'm going to put one in I might as well put a decent/quality one in. Anyone know the best place to get one? Or where they're the cheapest? ha

Auto festiva's have a 2 core radiator. Other than that i don't know. -
i ended up finding a used one at a JY and it has worked fine......(going on 7 months)
but others have stressed in the past to not waste money and get new... $114.89 on rockauto... if i were to get one RIGHT NOW, this is what i'd go with.

What do you think about that one? Oh, and mine's a 5 speed.

The auto radiator will work and would be more than enough for your stock engine with 5-speed tranny. In fact, the Festiva auto trannys are more than enough for even a BP to keep cool.
The one on EBay seems alright... But if I had a junkyard near me, I'd check there first since you could probably have one for 1/4 of the cost.Simon - pimptiva.comComment

Hmmmm, where was that? ha I looked at it last night. Front, top, to the right of the cap theres about a 3 inch crack in the plastic. I popped the hood as soon as I got home so I could try to find where it was coming from while it was hot. There were a lot of bubbles coming from that crack, ha.

Should I stay away from ones with plastic tanks? I mean the one in the car thats plastic seemed to work good for 163000 miles and 20 years, but everyone knows how stuff is built these days, ha.
