I know the basic rules about ebay, but i was just curious if anybody has had any experience good or bad with ebay slim fans.
If anyone has another cheap brand to suggest feel free i know messing with cars isnt cheap, but cant pay what summit and some other places want for fans with a new baby and all.
Its not something i have to buy, but its something im interested in for my 98 ex, so just please let me know if you have any experience with them or any advice to offer on the subject.

I liked when i used a slim fan...wasn't bought off of ebay, but they are all very similar. It moved a lot more air than the factory fan which meant it didn't have to run for very long to keep temps under control. I think they are a worthwhile upgrade

One of the fin's broke off of mine, idk how that happened. I only had it for like 2-3 months and I got it for like 20-30 bucks off ebay.

Stock radiators can fit 12" fans. I had a10 on mine and it was great but it did leave a good amount of space for more cooling

Alright so just to make sure child i can get 2 12 inch fans for my 98 ex and they will both fit.
i havent messed with fans really just motors so how should it be hooked up to push air correctly?

Only one fan unless you're running a full sized radiator. They can be setup to push or pull, so its your preference.

I ran an eBay 10" slim fan on my boosted B18, and it worked great. I had it on there for a year and about 4 months, until I sold it. Zero problems.
