So I went "inda-penyabar-mesti-awal-ani-jua" on my decision of installing the OBX Oil Catch tank during lunch time. I almost skipped lunch because of this. But yeah.. whatever, at least I'm happy with the install.

Right after I got out from office, went to the nearest Hardware store and bought 1 metre of hose, some clamps.. and, I guess that's it. Well there was more before lunch. I went to YC Workshop since they have some handy tools that I don't have (Sawblade and big drill bits?). They helped me to install this:

Good enough I thought, since I wouldn't have the tools and some rubber grommets to go at the fixings. After that, the rest of the install was done by myself. Toolbox out!

The OBX Oil Catch Tank didn't came with a installation manual (wth) but, as expected.. I already done my homework at www.seatcupra.net and www.vwvortex.com, to see how they installed their catch tanks. After dismantling, cutting a few hoses and measuring it up so that they can reach, here's the result:

Pretty simple actually. The first hose: From the Oil Filter Breather Hose, to the inlet of the Oil Catch Tank. Then second hose, Hose line return back to the Valve/Throttle Body Outlet. Clamp it (in picture, cable ties were temporary, I changed them to clamps later on) and there ya go! Fitted back the engine cover, and it's all done:

Now this mod does not actually make the car go faster, (so what's the point then?). Well, it actually makes the car breathe cleaner. Get what I mean? The tank acts as a condenser of some sort, which prevents excess gases from the valve from entering back into the Throttle Body, and into the engine. Then you may ask, "Why they don't do this straight from the factory?".. Ah, not everyone can afford to buy a car with an additional costs here and there.

So yeah, there ya have it.. More mods to come! It'll be interesting this time. I'm just starting to fiddle around with the engines now since the car visual mods left are Sport Rims and Bodykits (Big budget!).

..And now I only have a dollar in my wallet, anyone can spare me 10 bucks? :3
