what is the point of buying a different, much more expensive cap, anyway.

The radiator cap reduces engine temperature due to higher pressure. When I installed my Mugen cap, I noticed the engine temp needle was a little lower than usual when it was fully warmed up. I think its worth it... here is a picture of the one at Optauto and I know this one will work with our cars.

Options is a crappy company when it comes to specs on the crap they sell....they don't have a clue at the customer service #. You'd think with the markup they have they could afford a actual guy from Japan [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]


Also, the engine is supposed to run at an optimum temp...unless you really drive hard or in bad heat it might not be the best thing for your car....does look cool. Too bad they don't sell the sticker [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
