options for replacment power steering, and Radiator expansion tanks.

Whats up! Ok well the radiator tank and the power steering tank are a real eye sore... I've been wondering about other options that are out there besides the forge overflow tanks. I was even looking at smaller fuel cells. I want to get something thats a little different but doesn't cost more than the forge units... anybody have any thoughts? or have anything on there car like this??

thanks!

Waste of money in my mind... I've never actually looked. I think CFMINI has at least a coolant expansion tank. Keep in mind you have to match up the right pressure caps, changing the pressure cap can change the boiling point of the system. Even if your coolant isn't boiling, it can still warp your head.

I thought the same thing & just had the Forge expansion tank & power steering assist tank installed. It turned out great & really cleans up the engine compartment. http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...101&cat=020101

the higher the pressure ; within reason ; the cooler it'll run . coolant under pressure boils at a higher temp . racers are using 29 to 30 lb . caps with no ill effects whatsoever. i've got one too and no trouble once air is purged .
