Default if there are no dividers in the end tanks as pictured then that was another wasted design because it

would not be as efficient as possible.

Default Yup......that why I didn't do it the first time.......needed more time to..........

figure out the cleanest way. Found a great welder 3 blocks from me so now it's going to be much easier once the time comes.

Default Yes but that set up was held together w/ bubble gum........I'm sure it worked well but..........

it was kind of a hack job, the bumper was hacked to hell and IIRC one of the pipes cut below the belly pan.

There are several fins in the endcaps to direct the flow. I still have the original drawings.

Default Dingos ate his baby.

Well, at least they seemed have nibbled on the bumper slightly.

Agree. But the end tanks were wonderful, with directional vanes, etc.

Default I was seriously going to buy it, but he was having problems having it smoged here in Cali...

&amp; it was a total bubble gum thing too, but Eugene is a funny guy, and he had some decent stuff on it, like the rear sway bar and some sort of one off turbo from 034, I don't remember exactly, it hauled *** apparently.

He sold it and got a Stg3 B5 S4 for a smoking deal. Which I think it gone now too.
