I've had my car for a while now but for the first time, I'm planning on doing some lessons and possibly some open events near my home (Mid-America Motorplex). Probably only one or two a season.
I've just about finished up all the obvious prep work for this...larger rad, power-slot rotors, some decent pads, a good BC, etc. I'm already experiencing a little oil in the intake and concerned that it might get worse, especially since there is one rather long hard flat right-hander at MAM. I don't feel like pulling my IC after each each event just to clean it out and considering an Oil Catch Can. I was hoping for some input from some of you who track regularly. Is this worthwhile and if so, do you have any recommendations on brand/manufacturer and/or mounting? I did a search but didn't find much. Thanks, Jim |
I don't track much Jim, at least not on a real "track" anyway. Here is the trick, I use a beer bottle. I've been using it for over a year and It works well, never had any problems with it sliding around or anything. I empty it out once a week or so. Cost me $7.99 for the six pack and the hose I had lying around. You can pay for a nice shiney one i suppose but why bother when a beer bottle or can delivers the exact same result, well you don't get to catch a buzz off the shiney metal one.

Nice and functional, good idea. At first glance it looked like an old stubby beer bottle, then I noticed the 12 oz. label. My grandpa started collecting them years and years ago, I had my visa card out ready to buy some old stubbies! |
I used a Molson Canadian Tall boy for a while, then I decided to hook it back up like stock.
