But it looks like azzz... I might have one of my welding buddies fab up a simple cylinder from stainless or aluminum sheet.. Polish that bitch up and get some blue silicone hose and mount it somewhere... or what if I used a big red bull can and ran the hose into it? Oh yes that's what I'll do... pics to come

If you have any left over tubing from an intercooler or IM build just cut a length of that, weld some end caps on it and drill and tap some holes for fittings, make one fitting a breather, the other have a line on it that goes to the bottom, done.

Well to bring this back from the dead, I ended up making a overflow tank from some 2" ABS pipe and some hose fittings. It does the job it's supposed to, plus my engine bay looks so much better! I just zip tied it to the little bumper support rod and my IC piping. It doesn't wiggle around at all. I'll have some pics of the bay up later in the week when it warms up and I can get it outside to wash it
I used a 6" piece of hose going back out to allow pressure bildup to escape.

3 years, 10 months, 6 days. Not quite a record, but respectable.
Why the frowny face for San Jose? I lived in Santa Clara for a while, and though it ain't San Diego, you could do a lot worse.
Ever been to the Original Gravity Public House downtown on 1st St? If you like good beer and good sausage, I highly recommend it. We were just talking about them in the duck-fat thread.
