It came from my methanol/water injection kit. Aparently they use coolant reservoirs, Couse it says engine coolant only. So I guess I can always use it for what it was meant for. hehe.. I think it looks ok there.

Obviously i know there is a cover.

Still would look better if he moved it out of the engine bay, sorta like he did with the ECU box.

maybe some other time. I really thought of it but there wasnt a place outside the car I felt confortable with, and didnt want to deal with putting it inside ( at least for now, so dont mention it to much So it doesnt get it in my head, PLEASE). So I'll leave it there until one day I wake up and say... OK, time to move the fuse box. And all of my friends will tell me how crazy I am for taking the car apart AGAIN... lol..
