MARC MOSS Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Fuck lol three??? It will be a year tomorrow that I had a massive boost creep on my way to goodwood and killed number 3 the car still drove fine as well, it wasn't until I thought I could hear a slight misfire on initial pull away I lifted the bonnet to find oil everywhere.. I nicked a bit of hose pipe from The petrol station fitted it to the rocker and put the other end in a coke bottle lol best catch can ever and I tried so hard to blow it up but it just wouldn't lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
