Thanks, but it's only a $10 bag, lol.

There's a couple of us that come down to Fayetteville to run at the drag strip. You should come out sometime. Shoot me a PM if you are interested and I'll let you know the next time we are planning a trip.

I can see it now.

You could do that, and still have the functioning fog lights without a problem. Just be careful if you drive at night and plan to actually use the fog lights.

That's pretty cool!

Those are the older NOS bottles that are longer and thinner than the bottles available today. I played with a bottle in the spare carrier for about a month and never could get it to work all that great. I was using a newer style bottle though.

I wonder if the carrier will go all the way up in the car with that set up?

It also looks like he is using the smaller, low flow, bottle valve. I wonder if that is just what came with the older bottles; or if he had to for clearance?

meh.. I used to worry about hiding my nitrous, but not any more. (of course, at the track it's always fun to purge at the starting line, then shut off the system and run on motor to hook the occasional fish!)
