In all the times I've had to drain the radiator, I have NEVER found that stupid plug!
I just pull off the lower radiator hose.

Pull the lower hose and jack the drivers side of the car up slightly.

If they kept it in the same spot throughout that gen, it should be on the driver's side at the bottom facing rearward. You need a allen driver to twist it out.

I broke the tabs off mine, worthless. Like others have said, don't bother searching for it.

DUDE!!! This is AWESOME!!! Someone finally took advice!!! No, Shaved, this is not a knock on you whatsoever. It's just that most new folks here wont listen and take the advice that they're given. Even I'm guilty of it.
