      Referring back to this thread: http://www.westcoastgearheads.com/sh...Etc-Discussion

      Explains why Oil Separators/Catch Cans are a good idea. I mentioned that I was working on a new solution. This is what I have come up with:

      I currently run the Steeda Oil Separator. Nothing fancy, pretty much the same thing you can get for an air compressor down at Home Depot, and is the topic of many Do It Yourself Threads. It collects oil alright, but I think there are products that can do better. For my Test, I will be running my 'New' Solution inline with the Steeda unit in order to better gauge which is the superior unit.

      It's always a treat to see the results of a project born in someone's personal garage. It's even better to watch the progress from start to finish. No this isn't a magazine article advertising sponsored products that some lucky GearHead has installed for free at a shop. Ron carefully researched the specifics and put his own hard earned cash on the line. Let's read along as Ron drops the IRS from his 2003 Mustang Cobra and starts his upgrade.

      Bringing in the new year with ideas, new fun, and more stories...

      2011 was a rough year for me... after every car event (a few a month), my knee would swell and I wouldn't be able to walk for a few days. Mid-year, I was sent to physical therapy, but that didn't...

      Author: Julie GT07CS
