haha, I'll take your word for it...
Besides, I don't need one, my gas tank work perfectly for me, and I don't want dual exhaust any time soon...

RotorMotorDriver,
if the looks are that important to you the why don't U just attach some fake side pipes? You won't even burn you legs while you're getting out of the car! Not like you don't see artificial implants on cars or people these days.

This would sure save you a ton of work and wouldn't be as heavy. Then would have to figure a way to disguise the real tailpipe. Hummmm....mount it in the center under the bumper, the tip can be 2"X2" square, and you could call it a trailer hitch!!!!

Oh Man! A guy here at work just told me that the seats to his sandrail contain fuel tanks!!! I know it's open air, but that still sounds like a crazy idea. Next someone is going to tell me that Airliners carry jet fuel in their wings!

Manntis

that's different than carrying jet fuel in the overhead compartments, isn't it?

And just because a home built, legal-for-offroad-only sandrail uses moulded fuel tanks for seats doesn't make it safe.

Just for the information, in SCCA, fuel cells must be seperated from the passenger compartment by a bulkhead. So, technically, all fuel cells are outside of the car...

a firewall separates me from the engine but i don't consider the engine outside the car. so technically, gorillas only eat bananas in captivity...........hold on what was the issue?

Manntis

not outside the car, but outside the passenger compartment.

And a vest has no sleeves

BTW I like your design for the scoreboard. Very compact.

what about side pipes, that would be cool.

My friend has a raced out crx, his car is the perfect example of a full street performance (not rice) civic.

No interior, racing seats, coilovers, etc

he asked me what kind of exhaust to fit the car, and the first thing that popped in my head was sidepipes.

Interesting, maybe it is a Canadian thing. All ProRally cars last time I checked must be street legal. A majority of these cars use fuel cells and of those a good number have the fuel cells inside the "passenger compartment" as Manntis calls it.

Like I stated in a previous post. My friend's FireArrow had the fuel cell inside and his friend's Suzuki Swift had the fuel cell inside and neither of them were ever bothered by the cops except when they were curious about the car, hehe. That was in Michigan.
