Default Installed True Forged IC tank today...

Nothing special, just a polished TF ic tank...




now to find a matching coolant expansion tank.

i opened the garage door this morning and i guess the cool and warm air mixed and covered the car and engine bay in a fog/hazey mist. Thats why the coil covers look smeared and the ic tank isnt blinging.

Both tanks are PFab...I hand polished the overflow tank!! ...You either need a chip or a tuner to get a tune for your car at a dyno! ...I like my Bassanni Catted X!!

i talked to Excessive Motorsports and iirc they quoted me $550 for a 2.76 upper and dyno tune. Not sure how they'll do it. How did you hand polish it? I may need to do this as i cant find a polished expansion tank. I either want a bassani catted x or magnaflow catted x.
what cap is that on the pfab rad tank?

Wet Sanding!!! I had like 5 to 6 hours into it!! ...600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 & 3000 grit sand paper & topped off with some Meguiars Aluminum Polish!!

..I would think they're burning a chip at that $$$

The cap is from MGWLTD... Link http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang.shtml
