Catch cans

Post by Doctor G »

So do I just buy the $50 ones from Ebay or are they sold locally at a reasonable price?

If you leave the breathers how it comes from factory then that is what I mean.

Yeah then it sucks the oil in the breather hoses right back into the plunem... makes it lekka dirty...

That pic that VC posted of the dirty inlet... your engine starts to look like that after a while...

My Polo just, I also blocked the breather inlet before the butterfly, and connected a hose that just dumps the breather oil on the tar.

with my old tracer 1300, i also removed the oil breather pipe, and let it breathe out straight onto the first silencer box!!!!

it was a lame attempt at preventing the oil going straight onto the tar. but things got messy!!! LOL - i didnt care though, i just left it. its still like that, years later!

on that topic

(and this is confidential - aka : keep it in the club)

*pics to follow

this is the best mod for peace of mind

step one :
go to hardware shop, buy 3 meters of clear plastic tubing (about 5mil dia)

step two :
run from gear lever boot to arm rest cabinet

step three :
run other end down through boot and outa here!

step three :
run tube along underside of car to the back

step three :
twist around zorst (no, the car's) close to tail

step three :
cable tie end of tube to end of sed tailpipe

step four :
get back inside and use Q Bond to secure front end of tube to a pepper spray canister (better use the BIG ones, easy and free to get from cops (funny enough - the way to liberate them is to say that a previous girlfriend is stalking you. then they give it to you for FREE! about R300 bargain, the little 5 usage ones sell for R80))

LET THE NEXT TAILGATING FUCKER HAVE IT

works like a absolute charm at traffic lights with someone sitting on your arse, trust me :twisted: , let rip and watch the show in your rear view mirror. and for you who still doesnt get the picture :

phase one : you press (i normally wait three robots down, so that i can establish that it wasn't per accident that they ended up looking at my arse - nope, the whore-kid is a perpetual ass sniffer)

phase two : (you must picture this as if in the fast and furry movies, sllloooowwwmoooo - picture the finger, the button, the gassssss, the fucking off through the pipe (picturing a green flame helps)
PRESS THE BIG BUTTON

phase three :
upon exiting the end of sed tubie, the zorst wind boosts it all over his finely-wind-tunnel-tuned aerodynamic shaped car -
to where?
THE VENTILATION SYSTEM OF COURSE!

phase three : sit back and enjoy the show

phase three:
lip sync that the widowmaker sent them a love letter



THE BEST PART!
truely, nobody has ever thought that i had anything to do with the WTF moment that they were experiencing! (not kidding)

they just fade...

another trick that is a lot more passive aggressive is to aim the passenger front window washer a "little" higher than normal!!! and squirt those tailgaters. that gets them to back off too!!!

but if you want really aggressive, i thought of a similar trick once, but instead of pepper spray you get a little nozzle and pump to squirt brake fluid out the back of your car onto his. he'll back off a little, but in about 30 mins the paint on the front of his car will begin to peel off!!! hehehehe!!!!

As long as you don't have a leak in your piping, 'cos then there's gonna be carbon monoxide coming into your cabin, and you'll be dead before you get to Durban... :shock:
