And if you read the mishimoto thread you will find his experience is common.

installed fine, it steamed a bit at first, but I think that's cuz we spilled some coolant while filling it
No leaks at all, temp stayed steady.
Took forever to bleed the system, but now it's got steady heat.
What are the symptoms for the problems with the radiator cap? Mine seems fine...
So far so good, I'm going to take it out tomorrow for a bit to give it a little test run before Evan's Tuning meet next weekend.

Personally I would keep a container of honda coolant in the trunk or even just distilled water. Drive it like you normally would but check the level under the cap (when cold) and the overflow every drive or two. Wipe around the cap neck with a rag. If you get any boilover or the temp buage moves up after the normal level, bleed again. If you lose a lot into the overflow or get streaks around the cap from fluid, you have a bad cap.

Seems to be fine. Even though there are no problems, I might get a different cap soon anyways, just so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I drove it twice for about 15-20 miles each time and the levels are fine and the temp has not moved above 3 bars.

looks good! If you decide to get a cooling plate i just left the passenger side radiator mount off the bolt holding the plate on is secure enough to hold it tightly.
