[Supras] radiator overflow tank relocation

Nice job on the IC, Sean. It's gonna be a way-tight squeeze to get any sort 
of cool air to the air filter between all them pipes, but you've probably 
got something for that up your sleeve. The SCAM mod (ol' 4" dryer pipe) with 
some material removed on both the fog light bracket and the bottom of that 
frame bolt that sticks out really does the trick for my 90T with the 
Spearco.

I moved my STOCK coolant overflow tank (with the stocker sending unit) to 
between the R.side of the radiator and my smaller-sized Optima-type battery. 
A simple 1.5" hole in the bottom of the plastic plate allows for the round 
part of the sending unit to fit snugly.

Here's the engine bay from Vegas '06; see for yourself.

I spent saturday working on my new car some more and got the FMIC mounted up 
behind the bumper now.
now my issue is where to place the radiator overflow tank since it no longer 
fits. I dont know if theres a location i should aim for mounting it as my 
other options were to get a smaller one from Jegs or just hacking out some 
of the container to make it shorter.
