I finally had a few hours to spend on my project (it's called waiting for plating... when the calipers are at the platers and everything is caught up I can actually do something on my car). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Bend, bend, cut and weld. What will it become?  This ought to look a little more familiar for those who know what these are. All welded in. I'll cover with the seam sealer and spray with the re-spray of the trunk.  This tank cost way too much money. I feel stupid for buying it but... what's done is done. GT catch tank is finally mounted.  |

QUOTE(rfuerst911sc @ Jul 10 2007, 08:19 AM)  Is the catch tank needed when useing the 914/6 oil tank? I have much to learn before doing my /6 conversion. Thanks Yes & no. If you're going racing then it's best to use a catch can, regardless of the marque or model. If you need to pass emissions you'd better forget it. Instead of reburning the foam/vapors that occur @ the top of the oil tank during engine operation, all that gunk flows into the bottle & keeps your intake system cleaner. It is not street legal in MD, DC or VA. Have no idea w/ regards to your local. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

Probably could have told the guy it was a coolant tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) if I had too Nice install Eric!! Is the same guy who did the body&paint on your last yellow -6 going to do this one as well? |
