New part in the works.

^^^Their tank is HUGE. I wouldn't want my lines to go to one central place too. Like the Arc can LOOKS cool. But functionally is not there for me

the 2 in 1 would be an awesome idea except that after having a stock coolant tank in my hands thanks to DEpointfive0, and having made the cnc cut one and test fitted in the car. There would be a loss in coolant volume to make a proper size oil catch can.

While its hard for us to have products that fit with every make/model of aftermarket parts...we are trying to do just that.

Yeah, it's like trying to Monday morning QB, just trying to pitch as many ideas to you as I can find.

If you want a sight glass of some sort, just delay your purchase by a few weeks, Ill have something towards the middle of feb on that topic. It will add some cost, Ill be machining some rather expensive hard clear plastic for the "sight glass".

As you can already see, im all about solving problems and coming up with some slick engineered products...What i have in mind should look pretty neat.

all input is helpful

Dont take my counter constructive critisism as a negative...its all about brainstorming and getting the best.

Just so you can see, my reservoir (early 2010 model) is different from the newer/nismo models.

Old pic of engine bay:

It's a different shape/color that the others I've seen. Are you imitating this design or the other?

AzSpeng · 01-14-2014, 05:54 PM

shape/size is replicated off of your style tank.

Honestly I wanna hide the tank, so if I can get it flat or wrinkle black, that's ftw.

AzSpeng · 01-14-2014, 06:10 PM

I was thinking more milspec anodize like

more durable and wont flake or scratch off easy.

Okay, I wasn't even considering that a possibility, but yes sir. That coating would do nicely!

Although, now that the site is live... That's a bit more than I was thinking??

(I understand the cost involved with metallic parts, but to be honest... it's a reservoir...

)

To put it into prospective, there is exactly 15 minutes in the cap and 24 minutes in the top portion plus waterjet time, press brake time, welding, anodize, laser engraving, packaging and shipping.
