...seems short?

results varysomeone has to get the short end of the stick, and this time it was yoube happy that you can afford an acura

It is short. Did you buy the car new? Chances are the cooling system was allowed to run low at one or more times increasing the chances of corrosion in the radiator.

It depends on the type of driving and how it was maintained. If the antifreeze was never changed, you're lucky it went that far.

The shelf life depends on how you maintain your Integ. If you never changed the oils, antifreeze, coolant etc, your lucky that you even went that far. If you want it to last longer, i suggest not beating your car so hard (even though Integras werent meant to be beat ;D )

it depends on how well you maintained your integra. if you need help with maintaining it join team-integra.netmines went to 100,000 then i switched to aftermarket raceing one i could probaly still use it if i have it laying in the garage somewhere

i just depends on the manufacturing, or so it would seem. I like in the hot california weather, the valley, like i said hot. I never bothered flushing the radiator fluid, or anything like that. I constantly have my car floored in plus 100 degree heat, yet mine went to 120k. So that is a little short. Even if you have track time on your car.

Life of a radiator depends on how well it was maintained. Depending on where the vehicle sits, the weather can cause the radiator to wear sooner. If you do not change your coolant when it is due, it can cause the radiator to create corrosion, causing the radiator to fail. hopefully your car didnt overheat too bad where you may have cause internal damage to the engine, it is very common for aluminum engines.
