You can't use the oil catch can because the cooling system needs to be able to pull coolant back into the system if it needs it.

This is what I have for 1gs.

If they weren't so crazy expensive I'd buy one too.

I'm working on getting this coolant overflow bottle to work:

I'm trying to make a mounting bracket out of a strip of weldable steel and angle iron.

I don't want to put it in the stock location because it blocks too much airflow from my "push" fan. I think it will work in front of the battery.

Looking at this thread makes me want to empty my bank and buy parts. My engine bay is so basic looking, I wish my wife wouldn't leave me if I did it. Lmao

The classifieds section, contact him via his ad, ask for his PayPal address, send him $130.00 and bam you got one.

just paint yours black

Don't do it. Mine was yellowed and old looking and it was an eyesore, so I cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and painted it flat black. It began cracking and peeling very quickly. There are some areas where the paint still clings to, despite my efforts to remove the shit.

10 years later, looks like it has AIDS.

I'm going to make one out of a drink bottle or something. And I want to move it.

I don't like the OEM one at all, except for the fact that it has a pop top.

A NAWS catch can? This has to be a joke right? I would rather keep oil in my intake then have a plastic noz bottle in my engine bay. I have a short route FMIC and I got a metal band clamp like in the pictures above and put it around my stock coolant overflow and tightened it to a bracket on my radiator and the problem was solved. Only someone who is a ricer would wan't to use a plastic drink bottle as a catch can or coolant overflow, can I get a huge spoiler with that as well on a NT car that hardly sees over 75mph?

How about customizing your ride with ones favorite 'Shop drink'? Take your pick. Shiny aluminum beer bottles would make a great overflow tank or catch can in my opinion.

If you want a sleek yet stock look you can always try an Evo tank... I have one in my 1g from an Evo 8 and it gives me plenty of room and sure is better looking than the stock one IMO. That monster can one is pretty legit.

I got this same 1 in my 98 GS-T but with a Blue Cap.
