Current aftermarket coolant tanks that look good?? Something that won’t leak after a couple years?
Coolant tank options?

The Dali Racing round tank was great for me. They show up used from time to time.
+1 The Dali round is the only one that I've seen that does not develop leaks. Due to physics, there is actually quite a bit of pressure/force inside the tank. This is why most OEMs use some form of molded, curved expansion chambers, including for the NSX- it distributes the pressure over a larger surface area. Thus, I agree the OEM tank is the best (as long as you replace it periodically), but if I had to buy an aftermarket one, I'd get the Dali or have one fabbed up using an identical design.
Ok... good to know... I have the Dali tank right now, just wanted something that maybe looked a little more "in place" in the engine bay. Guess I'll stick with it.
The round tank just looks like it doesn't belong to me. (And I bought one for my other cars back in '05 or whatever it was, but always wanted the triangle one)
I'd recommend an OEM tank over anything currently available aftermarket.
You could have the Dali tank painted or powder coated black to blend in better.

I've had the Science of Speed aluminum coolant tank (with sight tube) since 2006. No issues. Like the look.
Don't think they make it anymore.

I have the same and it's provided over 10 years of reliable service, including quite a few track events. Looks good too.
The OE version on my NSX cracked and leaked so it seems they have limitations as well.
If anybody is interested in reviving the Dali Coolant tank, I tracked down the origin:

I don't know the MOQ.
That all I know.
After dealing with the keyless, the cluster, and differences between JDM and USDM I can say that:
> Honda knows what's what.
I'm not so sure about that. Seems like nobody talks to each other at Honda.

The Dali tank was cylindrical, as I remember. I wonder if the Unique Metal folks put their part number on the tank, and if they would make some more. Drew, if you happen to have the part number, I'll reach out to them and see what they can do.
DaliRacing would order up the MOQ, sell stock, and then replenish stock in increments of MOQ as required. These folks are unlikely to do retail style sales.
I recommend you call them, determine the MOQ, and see if you would like to organize a group buy...

I'm partial to OEM. I like having a "fuse" in my cooking system.
Done. Called and their voice mail said to send them an e-mail so I did. Hopefully they aren’t too busy that they don’t reply.
