oil catch tank - need help
Anybody add an oil catch tank or coolant reservoir tank to their ES? I have a 97. Anybody got pics or know the size that will fit (9 or 15mm)?

All ES models already have a coolant reservoir tank.
You might have to be more specific as to what you mean.

I just breathe my front head & gutted the PCV valve to be a breather also.
No need for a catch can, they're crappy anyway. You either check them analy, or forget about dumping the oil out & god forbid one ever fills up. That's a hydrolock waiting to happen!
Breather / PCV oil contamination in the intake is highly over rated to begin with. Only a miniscule amount get's into the intake track, the real problem is Carbon from EGR. The stuff bakes on everything & anytime a tiny bit of fuel, oil, or water hits it it just turns to a gummy mess.
Vin nice Greddy tank! Good stuff!

So 15mm it is. I'm a big fan of chrome. Nothing excessive like 20's or anything, but I do like my engine bay to shine. By the way vic that is a clean setup. What kind of battery or even terminals do you have. Very unique!!!

Leets, guess you would love the fact I have no cat!
Emessions are for states with emession laws. In Alabama, you could do an imitation of a hay field on fire, so long as you are not, god forbid, driving 72.3mph on I-20 between B'ham & Atlanta.
We have these beautiful things called trees that we didn't destroy when we built up the state. Nature loves us.

Amazing what happens to a Camry when the owner is a professional car tuner/builder, and has a running tally of around $15,000having burned a hole in his bank aco**** over the last three, or four years!
