its what holds the methanol.

pretty sure he could have just used the washer fluid reservoir but that may have been a little more complicated

WOW! really sweet!

Now thats the right way to go about boosting... what kind of gains are you looking for?
What kind of numbers are expected from that setup?

SO CLEAN! really like the first pic.

I didn't notice that your car was two-tone from initial pics you posted. Anyhow, car looks great!
