Rafi

Thanks for the response, All is GOOD. And thanks for your continual product improvements

I have sent you a PM requesting the new thumbscrews.

I recently installed my RRRacing intake and my RRRacing A/O seperator. The fit and finish on these items is spot on! Install was quick and nearly effortless. Thanks guys for putting out great performing and great looking parts for our platform.

I also just installed the air oil separator. I gotta say I love it. WOT after WOT and the engine feels a lot more responsive. The only issue I had was when I was tugging on the pcv hose. The whole hose came out and putting the other end of the hose back into the pcv was a PITA.

BTW what do you guys do with the oil that is caught in the can? Dump it? or put it back into the engine?

I dump it. I'm starting to scale back very slightly on the amount of oil I put in the engine during an oil change.

I put it back in the engine, unless Rafi or somebody else says not to because it's bad for some reason?? I look at it as good oil still

I would dump it. I don't have much because I barely drive/baby the damn thing. It has collected probably 2 tablespoons in the 2 months that I have had it. I just know its working and that is all that matters. I wouldn't put it back in just pour it down the sewage drain! kidding! Feed it to the annoying neighbors dog.

I love the white cover. I really want to purcahse one as I have the SFP and I feel it would accent the car.


LMK if you ever wanted to trade.

1. Engine bay is pretty crowded, so the place RR chose for the mounting is probably the best spot.

2. The reservoir is pretty small, wish it was a bit bigger. And needing to remove it with a hex key to empty it means I'll need to carry an extra hex key in the car. Wish there was a better way to empty, though I don't know what it would be.

3. The beauty cover on the driver's side needs to be removed during installation.

4. RR should have supplied a hose clamp for the location I have shown with the arrow on the attached pic. I couldn't reuse the stock hose clamp, it was flimsy and I couldn't make it fit.

Other than the comments above the unit seems to be a quality product and it's built to last.

I have attached two pics. first with the engine cover off. Second with the cover on.

Another comment - The USRS parts are pretty heavy, and the Priority US Mail box the parts were sent in was pretty beat up. One of the corner seams had split and parts could have fallen out.

Thank you Lou for bringing the slight packing problem to our attention. You got me worried, and I surveyed several customers - no one else seemed to have a problem with USPS boxes/shipping. However, we will start taping the edges of the boxes as well to hopefully avoid your experience.

BTW, I have not received the replacement Thumb Screws promised by Rafi (Post #165) over two weeks ago:
