I got bored one night and made an overflow reservoir for a buddy of mine.

I also had requests for a 1g tank that could be used with short route piping. This is the prototype.

I fit it in 2 cars, it worked in a modded car with short route piping and a basically stock car.

I changed the 1g design a little bit with my latest batch of tanks. I put the breather bung on the side, it gives it a cleaner look. I should have some good in car pictures Thursday or Friday.
 
These are made from 1/8" thick aluminum, hand crafted, guaranteed to fit and work flawlessly. They are not going to be as cheap as the Weapon R and OBX. Those tanks are just overflows, they don't work as a reservoir like our cooling systems require. Our systems need to be able to pull fluid back out of the tank when needed, those cheap universal ones don't do that. That is why my inlet is on the bottom of the tank. I have a local reputation for putting out high quality products and will do my best to maintain that reputation here too.
 
No need to explain your pricing, that price is more than fair, anyone who expects quality hand-made work to be less than cheap mass produced China crap is off their rock.
 
I just wanted people to know that those universal ones don't let the cooling system work the way it needs to. Most of the time all they do is cause problems.
 
Here is the finished 1g tank. I will have install pics this weekend.

looks awesome!

Would you be interested in making another location for the coolant tank? Some of us run the ETS intercooler with the kit piping and it runs a but closer to the coolant tank area.

I included a picture so you can see how the piping is routed.

thanks

I need some more pics of the piping to see what I could do.
 
Started the 2g prototype tonight.
