you can always relocate you coolant overflow, mine is now located in the nose of the front bumper.  Cooling won't be any different.
hi-flow intake, straight pipe, dsm bov, 24lb inj,  polished upper intake, turbo, and frt valve cover.

Did you just use the stocker coolant bottle? Or a different one? This sounds like a good idea to me..since my coolant bottle is half melted (from previous owner) and needs replacing.  :shock:

i just unbolted the stocker and attached it to the front there isn't a recirc like the newer car so you only have 1 inlet hose.

Did you mount it horizontally or vertcally? I would think that mounting it in front vertically would block the radiator some, while on the other hand, it almost looks like it would fit horizontally inside of the metal part of the bumper.  :?

at any highway or even street speed there is enough air moving to cool that radiator even if it was sitting right in front.  Remember as you move the air is forced so if its sits in front it will just go around and still hit the radiator.  I attached it to the support vertical.  If you try doing it any other way than normal then it will come out with the the car brakes or accelerates.  If the car is sitting it still won't make a difference because there is no moving air.

you know what would work well is if you took the reservoir off a n/a grand prix cuz those ones were made to fit in the middle. just a thought mind you. lol :rofl:
