Hey just wondering to see if anyone is using a aftermarket overflow tank an to see if anyone has pics of were its mounted. That ugly white oem tank needs to go after spending money on everything else to make the appearance look better.

Get a honda civic overflow for ~$10 from the dealer. Mount it in front of the radiator like factory. There's plenty of room even with an intercooler.

Hmm I will look into the honda one. but when i did my fmic i pulled it back like 6 inches from the front bumper(before it was pushing the bumper out when i bought the car), so i lost alot of room were the stock one use to sit. I would move the intercooler but all my pipes are v banded so there is no adjusting it anymore.

I have been looking for an alternative tank, too.

Any additional information on the Honda tank option (pics, part numbers, model years of the Civic, etc.) would be appreciated.

Try mounting it like this:

Make sure it doesn't rub against the serpentine belt though!

Used to have this, now I have a PWR raditator with just a straight catch can. The factory is actually a pressure tank in the system so you have to get somthing plumbed like it.

Well thank you for that and I'm sure it will help some SC300 owners.

For me, the search continues, since I have an SC400! As Scott mentions, it's plumbed with a nipple on the bottom, one on the top and one under the pressure cap. I've spent a lot of time on Google searching hundreds of images of coolant tanks, hoping to find one that would fit.

One from a 3 series BMW and one from a Ford Mustang looked promising, but once I saw them at the dealerships it was obvious that they were both unfeasible.
