Once I get these parts installed, I'll be alittle sad because my engine bay mods will be done... except for the red catch can that is on it's way.

Or... MAYBE... I'll think of something else I can do! ;)

I just put a drain valve in mine the other day. I love it. Stick a water bottle under the valve and open it up and come back in a few mins and its done. The main reason I did this is so I can drain it when it is hot and not burn my lil ole soft hands.....Drains really good. I'll still check inside it every few drains just to make sure it's clean. You wouldn't like my valve, David, because it has a.......yuck......yel....yel....yellow (OMG!!!!!) handle!!

No rush...just whenever you have some time.

Don't say that... time is the one thing I am very short on these days. :crazy:

I haven't had a day off work in 2 weeks. Haven't put the MagHytec diff cover on, haven't installed the QA1 shocks... Haven't finished the engine bay carbon fiber pieces - battery cover, filter and pcm covers. :(

Anyone know where I can buy time?!:favorites13:

I took out my iPhone, touched the camera app, then pointed the phone at the catch can, and touched the button at the bottom of the screen

seriously, I drilled a hole and tapped it. Then screwed in a close nipple and the valve. Just made sure I got the right tap for the threads on the nipple. And was real careful about keeping it straight ya know.

hahahahaha. I also turned the handle over so gravity would pull down on it in the closed position and not open it. Then bent it to work close to the BT bracket.

lol. It just wouldn't go with all the red that you put in your engine compartment. But I am sure they have red handles.....
