Thumbs up New Rotary Art

Was browsing the RX8Performance web site and noticed a new product today. It is a 3 canister system that goes where the OEM washer bottle goes.

Looks more like rotor art than a car part

There is a lot to it..

A lot of welding, and all the fittings and stuff. The caps and filters and weld on flanges aren't cheap

Wonder what the price will be after the first 5 like the site says?

That's actually a pretty cool product. I think the price is fair, considering it's aluminum and the welds look very good.

This is perfect for somebody running the Sohn adapter while maintaining the use of the windshield fluid.

I would buy one

Wow, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Make anything rotor shaped and rotorheads will buy it, no matter the cost, even if you could get something comparable at a better price.

I know we drive rotaries but Jesus Tapdancing Christ!

It looks cool but I guarantee the "patent pending" label is complete bs. The patent office would never grant it a patent anyways.

Haha, true.

A lot of companies use the "patent pending" to get people's attention; but it's all BS

There's a group buy on the site. I just ordered a Dual setup for $295! You can pick from a 3 canister setup or a 2 canisters setup.

Order one... I talked to the company and I asked him for the dual setup since I have no use for 3. So he made it so you can pick from the 2 or 3 setup.

Pretty cool idea and it's something quite different in design. I know what it takes for nice custom work like this to be done and it's not cheap and easy to do. I just recently had one made custom, takes so much work. Great piece wish it was around before I had mine built. Mine is a trio setup that I use for coolant,washer fluid, sohn reservoir.

It's not complete.

Missing tube from black drain fitting on bottom and sticker on top that says" Poor Beer here".

Put in refrigerator for best results.
