trying to use a del sol radiator in my crx with a b18a. hood clearance and fitment is an issue as its hitting the lower front cross member. Aside from just getting a stock radiator or cutting that area of the frame, anyone have any experience, links or ideas as to how to get it to fit ok?

position it so it is zip tied and hanging towards the engine… I do not recommend this, I have seen this done and it looks like fucking garbage.

Other than the stock rad. I think you are screwed. I have a customers car in the shop now with the same issue. I would recommend the stock rad unless you are turboing it.
