Do you really need those? or do you honestly think it will make a stock motor crazy fast?

If you're going for cosmetic appearance your best bet is to try the appearance and cosmetics forum.

Wow. I often wonder why new members even bother joining these days. His question, while not completely tech-related, at least has some sort of technical component (he is hooking up an oil catch can). If you don't want to or can't help him, that's fine, but the flaming and attitude is really getting out of hand, and ironically much of it comes from members who are also quite new, or who rarely contribute positively to any thread themselves.

1fastEK9, there are several options as far as catch cans go, though most of them are quite similar in appearance. I'm not familiar with any custom-fit polished overflow tanks, so if you wanted to run one, it would have to be a universal model or one that was fabricated for your application. Either way, you're looking at quite a bit of cost with no real improvement If you simply want the benefits that an oil catch can provides, you can find a relatively inexpensive setup that will function quite well, and look decent too.

Nice bay, I'd opt for a solid tower bar instead of a hinged bar, but other than that, looking very nice.

Now the question:

Are you talking about an oil catch can, or are you talking about replacing your clutch and brake fluid reservoirs? Or possibly your coolant overflow?

Personally, I wouldn't replace the coolant overflow with anything that isn't transparent. Care to post up a picture of the Carbing overflow tank?

Those aren't for a Honda, just so you know. Carbing made those "universal" but mainly for the STi.

Hooking up an oil catch can is a technical modification, as I stated.

Again,

Yes, I think the great majority of members here have come to realise that.

I realize what you're saying that he's hooking up a catch can, if he was asking HOW that would be different, it WOULD be technical - but he's not. He's asking how to get ones that look nice.
