Re: Steering rack bearing
I disagree with Steve on this point. The cheaper civic rad is a really good upgrade. New mounting brackets means bending a piece of flat ally. the sealing of the rad is as good as with the viva. I never had one bit of overheating once I fitted it. The cost is about half (or less) of having the viva rad re-cored. Electric fan (some like to fit an override switch too) never gave me any problems and always cut in at the right time. Its a nice simple project if you ask me. I made the filling easy by using a remote expansion bottle on the bulkhead.
