I noticed a few of you guys at the show had stock yellow discolored reservoir tanks.. I would recommend you guys buy the above ones.. It will look much better at the shows.. and they are cheap and easy to install.. :rock:

That actually looks better than i thought it would.... although on a carbed motor I don't think it would look as trick...could be wrong, dunno.. :idk:

Although one problem would be.... how would you know what level the coolant is at? I guess you would have to open the cap and look inside...I personally like looking at the level all the time.....Being someone who cracked a block before and had coolant mix with their oil.. im just paranoid..lol

It is a waste of money....I got one when I thought mine was leaking. Looks disgusting already a year and a half later.

^not a waste of money at all... the tanks are a measly twenty bucks..I had mine in my car for over five years and they both still look new..check out my belmont pics... You have to realize not all people use their thirdgens as daily drivers... And come show time that extra clean coolant tank could give you the extra points you need to win..

Sorry..I forget some people dont use these as DD.

In that case i guess go for it. But if you have a DD DO NOT DO IT!

I didnt have one on mine for a while...
When the cars coolant heats up under pressure it "expands" and it does, coolant goes into the stock resivoir. When the coolant cools off it originally gets sucked from the resivoir back into the radiator...
if you take the hose off it will overflow once... cool off and if you dont have any problems wont overflow again... I am getting a nice small aluminum one from summit and hiding it somewhere...
