Sorry for the noob question but, whats the purpose of that elastic band over the brake reservoir? I've seen it many times and I'm dying to know what it is.

 

to prevent any spilling of fluids

 

looks nicer then not having one.

 

just what I thought. ummm Thanks.

 

For looks.

I've never had one and I've never spilt any fluids, lol.

People will say that they serve a purpose, but they really don't.

 

So every month or so make sure you ring in out. hehe

having a sleve wont really "prevent" the fluids from spilling, they will just soak it up if it happens... that way fluids dont get all over your bay...

plus its an excuse to get uber JDm tyte Mugen or Spoon socks, or even better... spongebob.

 

yeah, i've never had one spill fluid, but they do get dusty/grimey after a couple of months of rain, snow, dirt, etc.

 

also, for us northern folk, it helps to keep them nice and toasty during those cold winter months.

 

it keeps your fluids warm so your engine doesnt seize up from frost bite

 

they are backups when im out ballin ***** out on the court and i sweat out my Nike ones.

 

Fix the pics, I would like to see

 

they keep your brake fluid warm, so you can slow down easier after being in vtec for so long

thats the best things ive seen in a while. lol

 

it's there so you can wipe the sweat off your forehead from working on your car so hard. you know how you have them on your wrist for basketball?

 

try spilling brake fluid on your paint, see what it does

 

its supossed to prevent drips/ spills if the lid were to come off.

but mostly it makes you JDM

 

i have one over my power steering reservior since after a few laps it starts boiling and overflowing.

Ohh yeah my bad. I just erased them on Photobucket.com. I got my question answered already.

 

it was already stated, in the event of a spill it soaks up the spilled fluids.

but what its really from their circuit cars. if anyone here owns or maintains a race car, you'll know that you need to keep your motor 110% minty clean. that way in the event of a leak you can easily pin point it since your motor is already squeeky clean. sometimes you have minutes to fix it, sometimes you have an hour or so between qualifying sessions. if you spill while doing a pit stop during an endurance event and it drips down you'll have brake fluid or clutch fluid down ony our under carriage and know idea how it got there, when in actuality it spilled from your reservoir. if you can soak up that fluid and you STILL have a leak you can rule out the reservoir since the sock soaked it up. i also believe that the socks are typically non flammable as well to aid in the event that a spill does happen...well you know. but thats the REAL truth to socks.
