Radiator Overflow

Post by Angreal » Wed Feb 06, 2013 3:43 pm

So I've seen a few people in the States put their radiator overflow bottle behind the bumper which means they ditch that huge box in the engine bay. Does anyone who knows how cars work think this is a good/bad idea?

Are there any other ways to make it cleaner as I'm now in the mood to really clean up the engine bay once I get a whole stack of work in there done shortly.

i used the bracket and tank from a bg 323 and screwed it into one of the existing nuts in the chassis rail under the bumper

This sounds like a good idea

I'm looking for a way to make it MUCH smaller. Thinking when I ditch my AC to replace where the condenser is with a small catch can. I need the space behind my bumper for interfoolers, oil foolers, aero etc..
