I know in gt5 using no counter steering helps lengthen drifts for me. I have a racing wheel and pedal set for it
 
Where would you add it?

Right now I don't have any sort of PCV system. I just routed the vent on the oil filler neck back to the charcoal cannister. I'd plumb the vent on the filler neck to the new can and vent it from there or plumb it back into the intake. Not sure if I need the vacuum or not.

Why plumb it into the intake instead of back into the pan??

Don't most PCV systems utilize vacuum from the intake? I'm not sure if it's necessary to have vacuum applied. If not, I can always just run a vented can, which is basically what I already have. I just don't know if crankcase gases are a good think to have in the charcoal cannister or not.

Positive Crank-case Vent. Pressure builds up in the block from sh*t getting whipped into a froth from all the metal flying around and it needs somewhere to go. Vent it to a can that's open (with a filter) on top, that drains back into the oil pan, problem solved without your engine sucking oil into the intake. That's how a lot of stock ones work for some ridiculous emissions reason, but it's not necessarily the best way to do it.

I just took a piece of vac. line and ran it from the oil filler neck into an old water bottle with a lid.

I picked up a roof rack tonite off craigslist for the new car. Kinda excited to be able to transport the bike again. I didn't realize Thule made Mazda's racks.
 
Just found something kinda cool.

This is the powerplant that I came to China last time to help design. I was at that site for meetings early on when they had only the structural steel installed. Pretty cool to see a big project of yours finally get built. Problem is, due to fuckups on the owner's side, it's not in operation yet, and probably won't be for a while.
 
Only took about 35 minutes to install it. 2nd "mod" on the new car.
