i see no real problems other than, itll be hard to see ur coolant level
neat trick tho, never thought of it

now im wondering
is it possible to relocate the powersteering resevoir
just be extending the hose
or would the longer hose risk anything?

so how would you refill your overflow tank? do you have to remove the entire bumper cover to do so?

I don't see any problems. But how will you know when you are running low on coolant before its to late?

just check the coolant through radiator cap every now and then. If you start seeing leaks then having to refill coolant everyday's going to be a bitch

that's a super clean sohc man.
i'm guessing the thing with the b&m sticker is a catch can...i see the clear tubing exiting the manifold.

don't get the move though, but if it works for you then good.

well thanks for all the feedback good and bad.... as far as watchin your coolant....i dont really it has never fluxuated over the 6months ive owned the car.......as for the Z6 manifold.....thats what it comes with a have some friends with the D15B and it came with that mani....sure beats my bad *** Y7 mani dont ya think.....ive read that when u mount ur cooland bottle down low it cannot suck it back up the hose so that might be a risk in not willing to take. the reason i moved the bottle is to clean up my engine bay a little but but what i may end up doin it makin a new coolant bottle that is a little better lookin and reinstall it in the factory location..i make sure to keep you all posted.

P.S yes the B&M box is a catch can.....it looked lonely with out the sitcker and i saw my B&M sticker so i slapped it on there.....plus it makes a great conversation piece ive had friends be like what the heck it that ill tell them that there like here's 50 bucks make me one! so heck it works for me
