Wow cool. Funny story, I actually bought that HKS bov pipe from you about maybe 2 years ago? Haha, small world!

It's an old style Powered By Max, the new ones look different... It's pretty nifty, makes it easier to fill the coolant. I never bleed it any more. :D

I'm running an ARC smic intended for an S13 SR. I haven't had any trouble, but then again I'm at stock boost. I don't intend on running FMIC though, if I can help it. This is a daily driver so I don't wanna mess with modding the bumper crash bar deal, not worth it to me.

The wheels are MB Battles, AKA CSTs. 17x9.5+15 but req'd 5 lug swap. Look sweet and were cheap though!

And Rico runs an ARC SMIC as well. No need for a sprayer, even at 15psi.

A guy here in Canada makes and sells them Copyright http://www.bings.com Same thing really. Scroll down half way and there they are! He ships to the states too.

NEW ITEM: Limited production

This coolant resevoir is made from aluminum and is manufactured in Ontario, Canada.

It is direct fit for S13 and comes with a gorgeous, laser engraved cap that is CNC machined from a solid piece of billet 6061 aluminum.

$165 includes shipping in Canada and all taxes.

Thx. I'd really like a new cold pipe... but this works for now. I'm not out to set any land speed records or anything and it doesn't leak so it's good enough for me!

Yeah Rico and I keep things real down here. Don't need no eBay bling-bling shiny to cool our charge flow. Lol

That's a really nice piece, but I think Rico was talking about the coolant surge tank. My coolant reservoir (what that Bing's is) is a Circuit Sports. The surge tank is the thing in the back left of the engine compartment, by wiper motor.

Yep, 17x9.5+15. Required switching to 5x114.3 bolt pattern (S14 SE hubs, ball joint, spindle for the front, N/A Z32 hubs for the rear)

Wow dude, Thats freaking gorgeous. I just purchased my ca18 and is currently getting dropped in and all that jazz.

My gf noticed you live in Belton, Tx. We moved down to Texas for a bit. Shes originally from there. She was telling, that Belton is a massive speed trap, and she recieved her first speeding ticket in the town.

Theres a couple of guys in McAllen, Tx. Wich is where we moved to, and my GF is originally from. We drove my hatch, and her coupe down there. I just found that cool, that you live on the way there. Would be even better if we saw you while driving. hehehe.

Anyways , niiice bay man, and my girlfriend and I both love the pink VC's.

Oops I just saw this post, had to bump it up so I could respond properly!

Thanks for the kinds words!

And Belton is a silly little town.... I haven't gotten a ticket, but I have gotten a lot of stares from cops passing by I drive like 5 under the limit in town, just to make sure. And I run a front plate so they don't have a reason to pull me over. Can never be too careful. A guy I know got a ticket for going like 3 mph over downhill!!! So yeah, lol.

Always good to hear from someone around the area, not too many tastefully modded 240SXs rollin around here.

And thx for pink props, but you gotta give credit to my homeboy Rico. He's the o.g.
