Hello guys i need to get round to replacing my rx7 coolant neck with a good looking polished one from //www.dragonperformance.co.uk .
is there a certain way i should do it? emptyin the other one and so on, just thought i would ask before i have a go!, cheers J

Its easy mate, drain the coolant down a little I have a 500ml syringe that I use all you need to do it take about a  litre out, slacken off the air pump belt so you can get to the bolts undo the pipe top and bottom and there are 2 then the bolts that hold is to the block . Refit it the in reverse of the way it came off.

oooh i dont have the air pump, single turbo! but having a look it should be easy! cheers

you will need a new gasket that goes between the filler neck and the block, might even find the one on there will disintegrate when you take it off, like mine did!
Also could be worth putting in a new thermostat o-ring while it\'s of, but dragon may have done this anyway.
