This Week in the Shop : EP 010 We made a billet catch can! Black Friday

[@Mike_Barker]

Really nice piece.

[@antoinevenne844]

Awesome! So cool seeing the amount of engineering and pride that goes into these parts

[@johnrussakoff]

Wanna bring your car by to work on a Nissan window crank?

[@ManjiMachine]

Thing is a masterpiece

[@greggdrake]

Superb as always my friend! Since these are going to be so strong and flat, I think any gasket option should work fine.

Grainer sells pet cocks that have additional "tube" or barb you can slip a hose over for draining. It's nice to be able to put a hose on a drain under the car to make less of a mess. I've used one on drain my crude catch can that was tucked in a corner of my Miata for years.

[@johnrussakoff]

Great idea 👍🏻

[@ManjiMachine]

Oring groove would be top notch but yea the price consideration in achieving that.

[@johnrussakoff]

I’m gonna mess with it next week to see how feasible it is

[@Phil_Baines]

Are we able to request a -10 orb on the top instead of a -12?

[@johnrussakoff]

There won’t be any custom options. But -12 orb can be easily adapted to other sizes. Or in a sealed situation, the top -12 can be plugged and the two side -10s can be used.

[@salloroc20]

Just cut a groove on a face and 3D print a seal from TPU. I've used TPU for custom seal shapes with good results.

Two inputs: First, consider purchasing a vinyl cutter for doing gaskets. Instead of cutting vinyl, I've seen examples of ppl using them to cut out custom gaskets using thin rubber gasket material. Since vinyl cutters are much more inexpensive vs laser cutters, this might be a viable option for you to explore. And of course you could make custom vinyl stickers and decals with the purchase if that entertains you. Second thought, and not intended to take away from this product, but will there be a prelude catch can offering in the future? I'm sure the Honda community in general would jump at the chance to purchase one. And perhaps there might be some cross compatibility among different Honda models?

[@johnrussakoff]

That’s for the feedback. I am considering making a “Honda” or “Universal” setup. This AE86 one is best suited for rwd placement. This isn’t an ideal place for a fwd.

I was trying to message you on IG but you haven't accepted my invite for messages yet. So I'll ask here, are you going to have the angled rod J160 reverse lockout shifter back in stock soon?

[@johnrussakoff]

Yes, all the shifters will be available. There is usually a lead time during the Black Friday sale so there may be some delays before shipping.
