Just for the record. It's not in front of the radiator but in the left front wheel well (sp?) in front of the tire.

US non-ABS cars place the res. on the pax side, just behind the shock

towers.  ABS cars place it in front or the radiator.

I believe European cars place it in the same place as the US.  Apparently,

Canada requires a larger res. than would fit up there so they had to move it.



The '99 Miata places the res. in the Canadian spot for ABS cars and the US

spot for US non-ABS cars.  The '99 Canadian cars have a DIFFERENT res. in

the same spot...  Sheesh...
