Intercooled now, broke coolant res

[race_to_live]

well crap. im pretty sad right now. i finally got the parts to intercooler the good ol 91ss,(the saab deal) and it all went real good til i open the hood and there is coolant spraying out of the res. since it is kinda old i guess one of the nipples on the coolant res broke when i closed the hood, making the intercooler hit it and then busting it. so now i know i need to relocate the res. so i just wanted tell everyone not to be a jackass and pay attention to what your doing.

Yeah, I busted mine off as well.
I leaned a little too hard on the coolant hose while changing the knock sensor, and it snapped right off.
I just got a brass nipple and some JB weld and cleaned the hole up a bit, wrenched the brass connector right in there, and it held nice and tight.

There was a guy who posted a nice write up on how to fix that, search.

mine is...beyond repair haha. i just ended up going to the junk yard and getting another one off a car. it works good after i did some little modifications. but on the other hand. the damn thing runs good now. i come from a 98 mazda protoge(90hp the crank STOCK?!?) that thing couldn't get out of its own way. and now just yesterday i "didn't race" a good ol civic . i stayed infront of him haha, that never happend in the mazda.
