You would have to some mods. I tried to put a hatch rad. in my crx and it was too tall if I sat it back towards the motor then the hood would shut

i have one in my crx, you have to modify the crossmember and notch the hood. you might look into a traction bar setup. that way you can place the rad. lower than if in your stock crossmember.

I just kinda threw it in there to see if it fit. I didnt really mess with modifying anything. How are you holding it in there?
