Hey Guys!

I'm back again with some more exciting stuff here from Mishi HQ!

Honda Civic 10th gen Mishimoto CTR Expansion Tank Thread 121217_NLT_CTR_Intake_WEB_1


Now that there's been an explosion in aftermarket support for the FK8, the CTR's engine bay still has a pretty noticeable eyesore - the extremely beige expansion tank. Well, lucky for you guys, we've already been working on an improvement for your engine bay. Stay tuned for more!

As always, feel free to shoot any comments, questions, or concerns my way!

Yeah a baffled gas tank for the track guys... Shockingly the Lotus vehicles didn't come baffled in the early years of the Elise/Exige and it would go lean on R compounds through tight turns. Scary to feel your engine cut out on you plus the damage that could result from it. I've seen various of posts here saying after a half a tank this chassis is doing the same thing. Worth investigating a baffled tank eventually if you want to keep the motor safe when you are tracking it often.

Plus who doesn't love the sound of stopping at a light and hearing the gas slosh around in the baffled tank ;) Race AF lol

I thought it was a gas tank as well. haha.

But I def want to replace that gross looking expansion tank with something more pleasing... that's not carbon fiber.
Agree. A nice metal piece would look great... please no more cf

Hey Guys!

Ask and you shall receive! Here's a peek at our 3D printed fitment prototype:

We're planning on a powdercoated aluminum tank to ditch that ugly beige stock tank :)

Nice! May be too early to ask but any idea on colors yet? I'm going to assume either black or red like your catch cans.

Give me an item that saves some weight and I am in. Otherwise the stock part doesn't bother me.

Any possibilities of offering it in a raw un-coated or un-painted finish?

Having this item installed, is it less dependency of buying an aftermarket radiator? not just for cooling but the coolant volume?

This this part will be purely for looks but someone correct me if I am wrong.
