Rotor shaped tank
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am sorry its taken me so long to put this up but I have been so swamped with work its not even funny!

So I received my 3 chambered rotary shaped tank. First off I want to say that pictures do not do this thing justice...it looks SO sweet in person!!! You can immediately tell this is not just thrown together or cheap looking. The tank is solid and has all the connections you need for its purpose. The mounting bracket and hardware is perfect and fits great! I am using mine for the windshield washer fluid, catch can and coolant. xxxxx even put a new pump in the windshield washer part so that all I had to do was hook the connector to the tank and it worked! The catch can portion has a K&N breather on top with a tube out the bottom to easily drain it once full. The tube on the bottom has a cutoff so you can close it quickly until its ready to drain. All 3 parts have a clear tube on one side so you can monitor the fluid levels as well. I LOVE this thing!!! I showed my car at IFO here in Tulsa, wont Best Mazda, and I had a people taking pics of the tank and complimenting me on it. This is a great product and looks pretty dang sweet under the hood as well ;) Catches attention quickly when the hood goes up :) I have attached some pics of it installed. No installation pics needed honestly, its that easy to install!

These are pics as I was installing it. Love it!

Hence everyone here should ditch their expensive-to-maintain, gas-guzzling RX-8s for 1992 Corollas? :dunno:

That's ricetastic.

paimon.soror 06-13-2012 09:17 AM

Yep you are correct, because we drive rx8's that makes buying a $300 cosmetic part that sits under the hood and is never seen unless at a show and tell event "ok" ..

brilliance

to each their own

I think i see a huge lump of aluminum that resembles a banned vendors product in the OP's pictures.


It looks huge in the engine bay :lol:

Thanks Scott...appreciate that :) Always have great input ;)

I like it and that is all that matters. Like said above...to each his own :smoker:

RX8Soldier 06-13-2012 10:22 AM

I much prefer the old Canister Trio...

9krpmrx8 06-13-2012 10:22 AM

And just to clarify for those reading this thread that don't know. My name is Scott, but I am not the Scott he purchased this wek sos from.

Don't worry...until you start making unique RX8 parts for our cars we would never get that wrong. You are more the "caped crusader" type

9krpmrx8 06-13-2012 11:00 AM

You would never get that wrong but a newby might, and I just want to make that clear since Highspeed referred to us both by first name. And I don't wear a cape, Just tighty whiteys :)

dannobre 06-13-2012 01:07 PM

WAY....too much info :rollingla

mavictb 06-13-2012 04:12 PM

looked kinda cool before it was installed... in the engine bay it looks.... not so good.

That's kind of what I was thinking too. I really liked it in the pictures I saw a couple weeks ago. Now, meh, I'm kinda not really feeling it.

I really like the CF battery fuse and ECU covers though! Where did you get those?

I'm going to create an all aluminum, rotor shaped toilet, interested...oh I see your covered.

paimon.soror 06-15-2012 06:26 PM

Lol

You do have a way of sticking your nose into things that are not your business.....

Highspeed 06-18-2012 03:06 PM

I was thinking the same thing dannobre...there seems to be a lot of people like that on here sometimes ;)

I bought the carbon fiber covers off another member on this forum who is a friend of mine and lives here locally, QTDude. Great guy, totaled his 8 and worked me a deal.

Race Roots 06-19-2012 09:58 PM

Yep, when someone owes you over $5,000 parts you let me know where you are going to stick your nose.

WOW....you really are delusional aren't you?

redline86 06-20-2012 12:38 AM

Is it possible for you guys to NOT turn a parts review into another good guy/bad guy thread? Let unedumacated/educated consumers decide for themselves who and where they want to spend their money. I think it looks cool but it is one expensive sohn reservoir.
