Draft Tube is a really simple oil fume seperation system its just a line that takes the CC fumes from a Crank case and runs them down to be deposited on the road. The heat from the crank case fumes pulls them down the tube to be dropped on the road or track or whatever. It works great but organized racing doesn't like it for obvious reasons.

I plan on doing Autocross some this year and maybe some Road Racing stuff with some different groups at road atlanta. I still need a few things before i can really be competitive, but this year the racing will just be for the experience and fun of it. I guess also to decide if i wanna try to be a serious competitor in the next few years or just continue to do it for the fun of it

Clogged front filter. I know it sounds like it shoulda been a simple diagnosis, but this filter was less than a year old on a brand new tank and cleaned fuel system. So i avoided it until it was the only thing left lol

But Nope no cage, not yet anyways. Next mods will probably be more suspension stuff like sway bars or strut bars. wanna get it on the road courses and see how it reacts.

My friend i bought it from was gonna road race it, Coilovers cage and all that. But i'm wanting it to be a bit more street and family friendly. I added interior back into it, primered it, and did some finishing touches on things when he got tired of the project.

Hey Kyle, is that you and your car? I assumed it was yours and figured it was you, since it said you work at a parts counter :tongue1:. I was wondering what it looked like and it looks pretty good.

Cool, just run track days with it as is so you don't need all the saftey equipment, and it wouldn't be classed in a class where it could be competitive.
