Hi all

Is there a metal replacement for the plastic water-coolent reservoir on a MY96 Impreza Turbo? I'm sure I spotted one somewhere on the web ages ago whilst browsing around but now that I actually need one I can remember for the life of me where I saw it.

Cheers

the metal coolant res off the newer cars fits.. with small tweaks.

Yeah, just got back from the workshop now and the guys there managed to do this with a a custom bracket make-up. Resprayed to look as good as new and so far doing the trick. The pain-in-the-butt perfectionist I sometimes can be, this is not ideal though. So if anyone sees a nice alternative, please let me know.

Pace do alloy header tanks for scoobs (paceproducts.co.uk). Spec-R also (www.spec-r.co.uk). I had a spec-r header tank, with sight glass, on my old RS turbo which was a very nice item.

There will be others out there mate, but this should give you a start.

CAUTION : The plastic header tank has a one way valve and the die-cast header tank does not so in some circumstances you will get an excess pressure build up when fitting the die-cast in place of the plastic.

I have a Forge motorsport alloy tank on my motor (1996). Nice and neat and shiny. www.forgemotorsport.co.uk

i have a 95 wrx and have just swapped the old tank to a new age tank and my rad has now gone after a couple of weeks (slight split on plastic end)may be just coincidense as all getting a bit old now, but just trying to rule out any other problems.just interested were the one way valve is located ?would it be possible to fit a one way valve in one of the pipes to get round this ?
