Where is price even listed in here? Obviously you don't have machined parts made much if you think it is only $30. I don't even know if you could get the cost down to $30 with making thousands of these.

It was more from past experiences in regards to the price.

And yes, that is a point. Sorry, i look at raw materials over machining cost.

And labor, shop rent, insurance, tax, development costs, interest on any loans, heating/cooling and lighting, water and electricity.

I used to have a pet cock. I would wake up in the morning with my cock snuggled up close to me, I could stroke it with out any effort. Sometimes it would catch a cold and I would have to put a tissue over its mouth to catch all the spit. We would go out for walks. It looked so cute with a tiny a leash around my cock and if I saw a hot looking woman my cock and I would acknowledge her. Me, by losing awareness of my surroundings and my cock seeming to draw itself up. Seeing a cute chick made me nervous because I was scared I would say the wrong thing and I'm not a chicken pedophile. When the pressure became too much I would open my pet cock to let all the build-up out. I love my cock but ownership is sometimes a bit hard.

Their are threads, threads do not appear in CAD all that well .

Noted, we can definitely do this if this is what most people are interested in. We thought the O-Ring seal is a nicer, cleaner, and more positive way of sealing a bung but we can go NPT and put a drain petcock in there, no problem.

The $400 price tag isn't even close for one. We are looking at being able to sell these through a vendor at ~$400-$450 for a pair. $30 worth of aluminum maybe but the fittings are custom machined as well. I would love for you to find us a machinist who will do the work for next to nothing but I can't.
Please PM me if you know of someone though .

We don't even factor in development costs, R&D/Prototype costs, sourcing time, packaging, etc. when giving final pricing either. We truly are dedicated to giving you guys high quality products for a reasonable price. If the price is too much, their are plenty of other catch cans out there.

You wouldn't even need to include the valve. Just make the drain threads the same as the oil drain plug. People could swap the valve in on their own if they wanted to. That's the exact same Fumoto drain valve that I just installed in my oil pan, an F-108n.

I like this idea.

Here is some more shots.

They will come anodized when the finial design is done, along with mounting solution, detailed instructions, install video, and etc.

[s2d4]

So the weld on the catch can is final then?

[eric6]

No those are prototypes only for testing purposes. FT86 Speed Factory will be running two race events to test the ability of the can. The newest design, attached below, is the design we will be going with as it is more refined then the first prototype.

[s2d4]

Cool cool, got confused as those other photos look like production model shots.
I am definitely in for black ones at the current pricing as other manufacturers have fitting issues with RHD, will the dual can setup be fine for RHD?

[eric6]

Can you send me a photo of your engine bay via PM or e-mail? Everything is contained within the strut bars so I don't see why they wouldn't work. A picture should verify this though .

[s2d4]

Here you go.

Would you mind showing me/us a pic of the filter media? Understand if you not want to.
