  1. I have a Mishimoto catch can, the small one, and let me tell you; it's too small! Needs weekly emptying.
    Go for a larger one if you can afford it.
    As far as hooking it up, there's a lot of options, I went for the simplest one, which is to connect the head breathers with a T in one of the catch can inlets, the crank breather in the other, and the outlet back to the intake pipe. Delete the PCV as they are prone to problems. Others have told me not to upset the pressure system by using two catch cans, but I've had mine for the past 4000 miles and so far it works fine, apart from some condensation which is annoying.
    If your emptying it once a week I'd be looking at some of the reasons its filling up that quickly, how many miles are you doing in a week ?

    Mine used to collect maybe an egg cup or two in a couple hundred miles of driving, emptying it was a pain until I bought the petcock kit and drained it from the bottom.

  2. You can get waxoil in a big tub with a sprayer, but I found that to be more of a hindrance than anything, followed all the instructions and stood in a tub of hot water to soften up but it still went everywhere and I mean everywhere,

    The end result was gloops of stuff where I didn't want it, the manifold and exhaust was fun, pulling up to the lights with clouds of smoke pouring off the car.

    The following time I decided to use the stuff you apply with a brush, takes loads longer but you get alot better coverage,

    You'll need to wire brush the underside to remove any loose crud/ rust then just 'paint' anything that's not exhaust drivetrain related,
    For any box sections or places you need to apply I bought a waxoil rattle can,
    Its a messy job and very laborious but worth it of you have a spare day,

    Failing that you could take it somewhere for a professional job@mfnick had his done that way pm him for a cost

    I've a couple of before and after pics somewhere I'll dig out, from when I did mine

  3. You really need to be a bit more specific,

    What's the aim of the build? what other parts have you got to go in, may give people a starting point with the help your require

  4. Hello & welcome ,

    Feel free to get involved here were all friendly, as for the button post a picture up may help, but could be anything going by other random buttons and trinkets found in imports,

    As for tuning, how much do you want to spend, once the modding starts it can end up a very slipper slope,

    I'm sure one of the leggy owners will be along to give you some more pointers

  5. Hello,
    Glad your enjoying ownership, once you start modding it becomes a slippery slope !
    So most of us have had at least a map and plenty have done much more,

    Sports cats don't always pass mot, (mine never did) but at least it passes a visual inspection,

    Typically a panel filter updated fuel pump and map will the figures your after, not to mention an Increase in torque driveability & if your lucky mpg,

    As for parts

    Oem and standard parts www.importcarparts.co.uk

    Anything else
    Scoobyparts
    Scobworld
    Scoobyclinc

    To name a few !
