Coolant Tanks?
Is anyone clued up on The Revolution type coolant tanks? I am after one i don't need to use an AST with but all the ones I’m coming across are the unsprug cap type? I have the Second gen Neck in at the mo but come to the conclusion i really need an AST but want the space as well (if that makes sence)

Just seems a shame to buy a Revolution Tank then cut the top off it....
So Has anyone seen one on their travels

The link you posted to RHD Japan is for a replacement thermostat housing - that will NOT replace/eliminate the AST. That's why it has a screw-on cap instead of a pressure cap, that's just a fill cap. The nipple under it is the nipple that goes to the side of the AST.
I bought one of these tanks a while back and it wouldn't fit on a twin turbo setup - the Y-pipe has to go right where the tank was. The tank would have needed to be offset to one side a bit to clear the Y-pipe. Like there is NO WAY it would work without massive fabbing on a twin turbo or if you have a Y-pipe that shoots straight forward like for a large SMIC.
