The stock one didn't fit when i swapped the engine so I went to the yard and got one from a Ford Tempo, works great and attached to the front sheet metal using an existing bolt hole.

Why don't you just use the cold start assist bottle? Or you could use the original bottle mounted under the headlight motor with the neck sticking up through the hole in the frame on passenger side.

Not a Bad Idea... I want to keep the Passenger side clear for the Cold Air Intake, but that idea might work.

I'll look into it this weekend.

I just saw another option for you today. It was in a 3rd gen. I believe it may be the original coolant recovery tank. It was the size of two soda cans stacked on top of each other, made of metal.

"Why worry about draining your catch-can when these Goza recirculating catch cans do the job by itself? In fact, there's never a need to drain these billet aluminum catch cans because it accumulates your excess coolant and then recirculates it back into your cooling system."


Although I could never justify 82 freaking dollars for one!
