Re: How NOT to install an Alky kit! DANGER! Pics inside may shock and horrify!

Too chicken to make that post on evoXforums murlo?

Yea cossie cams are a nice mild cam and decent on stock valvesprings but the whole theme for my X is kinda do it right/big or do nothing and leave it stock.

If I put an alky kit in this thing, it'll probably be mounted in the same spot as hollywood's, I've been eyeing that spot since I saw the trunk of (some guy on evomn--can't remember his name atm) a year or two ago. Only thing is options:
-put a 2.5Gal tank sideways in there with a mini battery turned sideways (all the way to the right), or
-maybe the same thing with 2x 1 gallon tanks to prevent sloshing.
-My other idea would be to get a 6 quart (i.e. big!) tank and mount it at an angle (45°*or so), with the low-level sensor pointing in from the back and the feed hole at the very bottom.

....All of these would use non-vented caps that had filler hoses going up and out to a very small, very easy to get to filler tank.

Pump goes somewhere that you can't see and also doesn't delete the spare, and then route everything up to the engine bay for a nice clean install. There's a ton of room under the cowl to mount everything nice and dry and no heat.
