well especially with our 2.0's there's always a possibility of oil getting past the PCV valve. our engines have the PCV on the driver's side of the valve cover so it's really easy for this to happen when you take a HARD right turn. another thing that people do is swap out their valve cover for the 1gn valve cover where the PCV is in the center of the cover. i'm gonna stick with the catch can cause at some point, no idea when, i'm gonna color match it.

Never heard of someone complain about the smell of a catch can, unless the stuck the barb right up to their nose.

They don't smell unless you do that.

ok, worked a little on a front strut bar tonight. i'll finish it up next weekend. i got the go-ahead for vendor status. just need to finish up some things before i do anything. so far i'm lookin at CATCH CANS, 100% SOLID MOTOR MOUNTS (RACING), AND STRUT BARS. at this moment all i need to do to finish up is finish the front strut bar, and make the lower motor mount and rear strut bar. my goal is to be able to start taking orders by Nov.5th on the early side, Nov.12th on the late side.
