I finally got the snow out of my front bumper after Quattro'ing it into the ditch of my friends driveway. I must say it wasn't the best way to impress a new lady friend haha.

Quattro'ing it into the ditch
That takes a lot of skill, or lack thereof...

Haha it was definitely a lack there of, but in my defense when my friend came up to pull me out his Duramax slid off the road when we stopped. It had just rained so she was a little slick out.

Ordered a new, mo-betta catch can cause mine sucks. Also toying with the idea of plugging the inlet on the TIP and just running it vented. Thoughts?

I noticed the one you were running looks like the one I am currently running. Mine has been on for about 3000 miles and doesn't appear to be filling up... did you have this issue also? And which catch can did you end up going with?

Yesterday I installed a JHM solid short throw shifter, after removing my Ebay short shifter. SOOOOO MUCH BETTER. 1st gear was a challenge to get into about half the time with the Ebay SS, but now getting into 1st gear is a breeze. This also allowed me to get rid of push-down reverse

Only down side to running it vented is the fact that if you use the outside air with the ac/heat you might end up smelling it. So make sure the catch can is as far away from the cabin air filter inlet as possible.

Yeah I got it used off a guy on the zine last year. The inlet/outlet are WAY too small, and I think this is contributing to my oil pan leak. Mine isn't filling up either.

Thanks man. I rarely use my AC in the summer but I do use the heat quite often in the winter, I'll have to see how it goes. I think I'm gonna try running it vented for the sake of simplicity, and if the smell is too much I can just plumb it back into the TIP. Thanks Mike!
