G'day all, I've heard that the falcon's require a catch can when taking the car to the drags. Does this affect AU's? If so, what is required and what is the simplest solution.

Just use a 600ml coke bottle. Its just so no liquid from the radiator overflow tank gets onto the track. Simply put the coke bottle between the brake booster and the overflow tank and run the overflow tube into the bottle. Problem solved.

If your talking about going to WSID the AU will be fine as is. I've never needed a catch can on mine.

Hmmm, okay. I'm kinda paranoid so i'll keep a coke bottle in the glovie but if you guys haven't needed it then i'm guessing i won't need it either. Lets hope so. All things going well, I'll head out tomorrow night.
