Hi mate, i cracked mine, i fitted a alloy tank from v5 i had to make a bracket to space it off the inlet manifold an also make it so it uses the same mounting holes, there at different centres. also i had to get longer hoses that come off the top expansion tank. put V1 impreza header tank into google images an you will see one thats been done third pic on the top row. hope this helps mate.
