damn..im a friggin dumbass
Last night, i was putting my stock intake back into my '01 GS-R. I moved the resorvoir that connects to my radiator, in order to get to the bolts easier. But stupidly, i forgot to put it back. so today i was driving when my car starts smoking. The thing melted on my header... When i go to the parts department to pick a new one up, what do i ask for? Is it the over-flow resorvoir? Thanks guys...

 

yes,and your not the first person to do that

 

coolant overflow reservoir(or tank) . the guy at acura can show you the part on the computer..I always ask to see the diagram to make sure we're both on the same wavelength.

 

when i replace it tomorrow, do i need to fill it with any fluids? don't have my helms manual around..thanks again for the help

 

AHahhaa my friend did the same thing . mashed his car down the street , came back and there was hella smoke . comptech header didnt look pretty after that

if you need to just okie-rig a water bottle to the hose . that doesnt seem like a part that acura would have instock .

good luck

 

when your car is cool.....check to see ifyou still have fluid in your radiator.......then add water into the reservoir tank to the fill line

 

aiight then..coo, thanks guys for the help..i still feel like such a dumbass!! o well, id rather my car smoke from that, then somethin else...peace

 

just incase you thought i was laughin at you in my post above i wasnt . i was laughin cuz it brought back memories of when my friend did it .

just makin sure

 

no offense taken dude...its all good... posting such a dumb question, id expect worse responses...thanks guys for all the help..i appreciate it...maybe ill get some pictures up, of the mess..hah..peace

 

Yea, you'll probably have to order that thing, but you can make yourself a custom one out of a small bottle like they were saying, until you can get one from the dealer.

 

o alright...correct me if im wrong..but the reservoir is just to collect the fluid that overflows out of the radiator? so i can just get like a plastic bottle or somethin...and rig the hose to run into it while i wait for the part? thanks again guys, you're awesome

 

Yes you can. People do this all the time..
