    Setho- trying to capture that oil mist I see! What brand cc?
    Haha, well I ran into an issue at the track where my OSV had a hiccup thay cleared itself up by the time I left, so I threw on the Radium CC as a back up

    Nice setho. That radium is a nice little unit. I was gonna do a mishimoto, had it , then sat on it for a year or more, then sold to a bud who needed it... Now back to thinking about it again. Tiny form factor is the key back there!

    When I had a CC in my 540 it never drain on it's own. Not quite molasses but close to it. Had to take the can out to clean it out.

    Yup. Makes mayo in there in cool weather.

    I'm messing with an idea on heating the CC to prevent condensation from forming.

    It was a used can from a buddy, and of course he didn't clean it, so I had to deal with that lol. Luckily its easy to remove

    Should be 72º today. Arizona "winters" are the best. I'm never moving back north, y'all can keep your snow and salt. Driving on summer tires all year round is awesome.

    I don't miss that job at all. It could make it into the low 60's today.

    Only made it to a high of 58 today, the garage is still 68!

    Picked up an Infinity Base link for free today and figured I would throw it in, as ive been Sub-less for almost 2 years now. At only 23 pounds, and self contained, I figured it would be nice enough, and easy enough to pull out quickly for track days.

    Hmmm, didn't think about putting it there since I frequent the battery area, but that might be a better idea if I can find a way to make sure it wont roll around lol
