I had my bro put in my Thrasher CAI this weekend cus i wasnt home along with changing my S/C oil. Whe he put the new intake in he couldnt get the new coolant bottle to fit. How do i get it to fit? Need to know quick cus i cant drive my car untill i get it finished thanks guys

How is it not fitting?

Its to big

Is it the 99 and up coolant bottle? The one that mounts to the wheel well? Some one else was having a problem getting theirs to fit too. You may have to move it around to where it'll fit and drill new mounting points.

Oh ok I ddin't know my bro bought it for me off of the thrasher site and I don't know the details hah. I'll try that and see what happens. What if that doesn't work?

The 97 and 98 have to have the coolant bottle from a 99. Then you move it over to the passenger side, and mount to the strut tower on that side.

Ok so i mount it on the passenger side instead of the drivers side? Sry i don't work on cars alot hah this is gonna be fun

it shouldn't be all that bad, i would have never known these things until i came to this site.

Yes it mounts on the passenger side wheel well. Yep it definately won't fit on the drivers side.

Could someone possible take a picture of the coolant bottle so i can see what it looks like once its in there?

Here it looks behind the fuse box.

Thanks Alex. I'll go home and check it out see if I can do it. Is that a new coolant bottle of the stock one you had on your GP because i have the new one from Thrasher and it looks bigger then the one you have in there right now?

hey on that subject, I am the one that Herc is talking about the new bottle not fitting, and there is a bottle brand new that I need to get rid of, cause I have decided to order the 97.5 regal bottle because it will fit for me, just waiting for it to be delivered. So if anybody is interested in a 99+ coolant bottle, PM me or email me , and I will have it sent it to them for cheap. I need to get rid of it!

It is not my car, i found this picture on the web and post it for you, i think the other guys in the forum could answer you about it.

I believe that's the one that came with the 99s and up.

On another note did you see the size of that pulley!? And is that an intercooler heat exchanger tucked between the grill and radiator?
