              It is hidden slightly. But its honestly very very easy to fill. For full access to the cap you merely pull out one 12mm bolt & tilt it inward(if need be). But you can install & remove the cap easily. Even top it off while its under the rail.
              There's a benifit to having a standard size radiator cap (no longer japanese style)

                How much did the radiator cost, if you don't mind my asking? My buddy just finished building his turbo zx2 and he took it out for the first time and the turbo put a hole in the radiator. He's considering a civic half radiator, but a bigger radiator would help keep his car cooler.

                                it still runs/drives but the following is true:

                                Motor's junk- Consistant Bearing material in the oil (was sold a junk motor)
                                Turbo's junk- seals are shot (was sold a bad turbo) yippie

                                anyone have another $2000 for replacements?

                                tried & tried but i can't help haveing it bother me today.
