That meth reservoir really looks at home there I have to call Sam now and pick up one.

I know they special ordered it, took a few tried to find one that fit and had enough capacity to keep me from refilling it too often.

I have about 1000 miles on it now including one track day & everything seems to be holding together pretty well. Still have more tuning to do which Sam is helping me with.

I'll def keep that in mind, thanks. Glad to see it running well.!

Lol, liquid cooling or watercooling has been around for a good while. Nowadays, you can buy them without having to do anything besides bolt em down. I prefer doing the cooling setup myself. I can personalize it and put my own touch to it, more expensive but it provides superior cooling in comparison to the aforementioned. Now they have rigid acrylic tubes you can shape with a heat gun. Choose a color, diameter and special fittings, and you can have hard lines with permanent angles. It's just as bad as car modding, less expensive but... Tread lightly. Instead of HP numbers, it's overclocking numbers and voltages. Processors, graphics cards, memory, just like a car, the computer needs to be balanced. Here are some of my favorite places to pick up custom pc parts. Newegg.com of course is my go to for main hardware pieces
