    yeah i got one of the bay ones... works great if your n/a -- if you're boosted tho you'll need to make your own gasket to seal the top really good or you'll get some oil blow all over the place lol... once i did the gasket the thing works awesome. :)

    seriously! JDM this JDM that. lol

    But what does it do though? Does it just stop it from going back to crankcase? Did that make sense?

    Oh, hey TurismoDreamin, do you have any new pics of your headlights? did you change the bulbs or are they the same since you got em?

    you see how dirty your throttle body is? well if you dont, take a look inside, feel free to rub you hands in it. you'll know what im talking about.

    thats the shit the gets push back into the throttle body. an oil catch can just catches the dirty shit the engine returns out.

    sure, now get them right size silicone hoses and hook it up. you will only see the tank fill up a lil bit under extreme driving.

    I hate eBay sometimes :) $22 shipping on a $9.99 catch can. When the actual UPS charge is like $5 - $10 to ship max.

    Yeah, hazer has my old OBX catch can. I replaced mine with a Greddy one. All you do is make a bracket from the piece of metal they gave you. I made steve a new one for his by bending some aluminum in a vice and drilling holes so it mounts to the firewall instead of the top of the strut tower now.

    They charge you more for shipping than the item to cheat eBay out of charging them the seller fees. It's either costly item with cheap shipping or cheap item with costly shipping. Either way, you pay the same amount in the end.

    Well that sucks. If u do get rid of em, I'm ur buyer. Hey, did I read correctly on some of the other threads that the H3 conversion harness was included with these projectors. When I look on ebay, non of them say they include it. do you remember who u got em from?
