Yikes.... Hurry Up!! Man,, I didnt realize they sucked up EVery photo you posted. I would have been ticked off.

Got a couple of quick questions on your catch can. Do you have a diagram of how you set it up? Would a Magnacharger be plumbed the same way? Thanks in advance.

It's super simple. Just a fitting on each valve cover, running over to a baffled catch can. This is THE most simple setup. However, I am NOT running a PCV setup, or a MAF.

You could run this setup with a maggie, but you'd have to make sure it's set up correctly. What are you planning to run?

Wasted Income · 09-30-2013, 09:11 AM

Had a car show at work this past Friday. Figured it would be good to take it out one last time before I tear into it to swap engines. Tied for 2nd place, lol.

It got a little bit of attention

aggie91 · 09-30-2013, 09:24 AM

Since you have had a bit of time on the road with it, what do you think of the No Limit wide ride IFS? How about the overall handling with your set up?

Wasted Income · 09-30-2013, 09:54 AM

I'm so-so on it. Wasn't happy with a lot of fitment issues, but it seems to perform well. Interested to see how it holds up over time.

I am running a Maggie and a MAF. How would you set it up? Nice car show!

New shoes. Waiting for my lug-nuts to show up tonight to put them on.

Wasted Income · 10-03-2013, 08:53 AM

Finally got them on. Levels it out quite a bit, and got rid of most of the rake.

skorpioskorpio · 10-03-2013, 09:08 AM

What size? I thought I saw 305/45/18 on the one in the pic, is that all 4?

Wasted Income · 10-03-2013, 09:16 AM

The rears are 305/45/18 the fronts are 255/45/18

fxdxharley · 10-03-2013, 02:00 PM

Those look great. just enough shiny and gets away from the comman 5 spokes.

aggie91 · 10-03-2013, 03:07 PM

I like them. Looks good!

duallyjams · 10-03-2013, 10:31 PM

Are the new shoes as comfortable as they look.

Wasted Income · 10-06-2013, 08:34 PM

Thanks guys. Got them on just in time to tear it apart for winter upgrades. lol

**Hart_Rod** · 10-08-2013, 11:16 AM

Nice shoes! Looking forward to seeing the winter upgrades. Here's a diagram on how I plan on plumbing the catch can. Thoughts? Also, are you running a one-way check valve in your fuel system?

Wasted Income · 10-09-2013, 09:38 AM

I would just run the valvecovers to the "dirty side" and put a breather on top of the can. I'd then plug off the line on the blower.

Not saying it's "right" but that's what i'd do.

Wasted Income · 10-09-2013, 09:41 AM

Sweet...my photobucket pics are working again.

Went out and did some comparative driving with some buds last night....on the hurt motor. haha.

My buddy in the RX7 was talking smack, so I figured what the hell....

Won't this be putting unmetered air into the engine? The method Jeff recommended is basically just venting to atmosphere but with a catch can to keep the engine bay clean... same thing I'll be going to on my swap car.

**Tom Vogel** · 10-10-2013, 09:52 AM

When are you going to get the new motor in? Gotta see that!
