I haven't seen anyone post one up and haven't seen it on your site, so didn't think anyone had them. Good to know.

Was just curious . And i kinda should have realized that fact since like was stated earlier in this thread that mosst of their parts are for their race vehicles and they sell the rest off or will have limited runs of said products. I just think their stuff is utter sex and it has nothing to do with the price . Hate to keep reinforcing the ideal but to put into perspective their full body kit may cost close to 100k usd but that pales in comparison to the gemballa porsche gt2 bodykit that costs roughly 500k thats just insane especially when you factor into that the price you pay for the car alone hahaha

Is that a problem? the race catch can should fit in the battery tray no matter where it's mounted isn't it?

probably the routing of the hoses is the issue /concern here.

when you have the battery on the left hand side it's on the same side as the blow-by outlet

mm.. i thought there could be concerns because of the heat as well (left side is "much" hotter).

But I don't think that should be a blocker argument for not installing the catch can over there..

I am seriously thinking about a battery-tray catch can solution (ASM and 5zigen have solutions for that) so I am really interested in the potential problems.. hoses should not be a problem.. it's just a matter of cut&paste

I am not really much into the ASM street catch can.. it looks too much cusco-ish for my taste

Let me tell you the biggest issue for me. The only battery I could find that fits the template of the tray on the ASM Catch Can is the Varley Red Top. All others were either too wide or too long. The Varley battery is $260 and have only found one company in the US that stocks them. Never seen the 5Zigen version.

that's because it basically is... well, with different colored fittings. my ASM catch can even came with cusco hoses (says so right on the hose) but I don't really mind. I'm a brand-name whore anyway asm ftw.

I am a bit more lucky regarding that.. Red Tops are european (from the UK) and they have local distributors in germany (where I live..) here a Red Top 15 costs 143€ (in the official german dealer). The cost in germany of a Braile B2015 (also in the official dealer) is 169€.. so actually the Redtops are a cheaper choice (comparing with B2015s or PC680s)

But, of course, the ASM Race catch can is horrible expensive

I know they are a British company. When I was searching for batteries that would work, everything I found was in pounds. The only person I could find on here with a Varley Red Top 15 was a guy in Britain.

The other downside is that you have to convert your battery from a standard SAE post to ring terminals. Most batteries have post conversion kits, but I couldn't find anything for the Varley since it's a 6mm male kit. Finding a 6mm female end kit was no problem, but it seems that there isn't one that exists for batteries with male connectors.

Does ASM make seat rails? I think I remember neveronline having them, but I'm not sure. Just wondering because I've had both bride and bc rails, and both had cheap sliders compared to Recaro units. Tia
