Nice, you should start collecting some blow-by with it hooked up to the PCV side instead. I definitely have content to drain every once in a while with my Radium PCV catch can.

The replacement motor that went into my car after the failure had a PCV catch can setup. Found out when it puked oil into the cylinders since I didn't have a catch can

I'd say you'll collect quite a bit.

How did you do that, just paint or wrap?

After driving a couple days (literally <1mi) to work, I figured I'd see if my Cusco kit is catching anything. There was a small little puddle stuck between the hose adapter and the rest of the hose. So it's working!

Yesterday, all I "did" with my BRZ was just go for a drive. In a time of corrosive politics and life-threatening raging pandemic, my wife and I took a long drive on twisty back roads in southeast Massachusetts and went to a beautiful state park and took a long hike enjoying the beauty of New England in the fall.

Finally received my carbon fiber hood from Seibon today. Packaging was horrible. Box was torn and looked partially open on some corners. Tape was barely holding it together and to top it off, there was no joke footsteps on the fucking box itself. Immediately opened it up and carefully inspected it to find no visible signs of damage, scratches, or cracks luckily. Kinda disappointing, but it’s not the box that gets installed on the car so it’s whatever.

Also got new headlights and fog lights last week. Should be getting in tail lights and perhaps a catback next week. Hope some Black Friday deals pop up soon

Got new tires... replaced the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS with the S-04 PP.

So far so good, feels a lot more progressive in turns, instead of the little on/off feel. Hope to take it to the twisties this weekend to get a better feel.

Made an oil cooler block off plate for the Cali "winter". .025" thick aluminum cut to size, wrapped in duct tape so it's black, and held on to the cooler by velcro tape. Temps are at least 20 degrees warmer on the freeway just cruising.
