Coolant Catch Can
Can anyone recommend a quality coolant catch can for our cars. If you boil the radiator fluid on track, the excess fluid is discharged in front of your left tire.

Not a good design IMHO.

Thanks.

We do, what we don't have is expansion tank.

For anyone who tracks their car, this is a serious issue that should be taken care of.

PS Discharge is in front of right tire.

the clear bottle is the overflow or expansion tank... if your overheating, fix the prob the right way, a t-sta or a raditor.. another tank will not help you..

I agree. I need a better radiator and/or a better oil cooler (but I guess I would buy a coolant catch can for an added saftey measure).

as far as the oil cooler goes buy the t-stat killer, and it will sig. make a diff in oil temps.. its not good for winter use though.. youre oil will never warm up..

does the coolant catch can replace the clear factory bottle or just add to it?

So does anybody have pictures of their upgraded setups yet? Did someone fix the problem with the discharge being in front of the right tire yet?
