I have always wanted one of these, but don't really feel like shelling out $500+ they are new... And unfortunately I lack the know how to make one myself.

It eliminates the AST and get's rid of the ugly front coolant housing.

Any vendor up for making something like this? I'm sure it would be a big hit and I would be on the list to buy one depending on what pricing you would make it.

 

yea i would soo be down for 1 of these at a reasonable price. that way I could easily have my ast mounted.

 

why not the t2 top for 25$?

 

yeah just get filler cap off a 2nd gen

 

I have one already... I just want one of these. They also have a much larger tank area than the stock filler neck.

 

depend on how many ppl is down, i might considering in making one by send out my authentic one to have a copy!.

 

500 is rediculous, the only part that requires CNC machining is the base, the rest is simple materials cut and welded to fit. and why do all these companies use those shitty lev-r-vent caps? they're garbage..

 

How does this look better than the stock filler neck? Both are ugly.

 

I have one, and they are a nice unit. I just had mine custom made..... Pic in the sig

 

Ummmm, been making for quite awhile. $275 I think was what i was selling them for. Now let me take a moment to thank all those who bought them for supporting me in this thread!!! J/k anyway yes we make them. $500 is a stupid price.

AST is good to have

 

I haven't noticed any difference in water temps since deleting it....just more clutter in the engine bay if you ask me

 

Pretty cool

 

~s~ looks better than the one posted at the top. A-Spec does great work. I was just admiring the welds on a DownPipe I recently purchased from them. WOW.

 

i agree. i actually think stock unit is more appealing

 

Dammit i needed one of these... I searched forever and couldn't find one. Well i did find just the replacement piece for the thermostat housing from Defined autoworks. Himni racing makes one also with just the flange and the cap (good luck getting a hold of them)..

I might order one of the a-spec ones in the near future..

 

I seriously dont get why anybody wouldnt just go with a T2 replacement cap and eliminate the ast. I ran that for years and had zero problems ever. Just gotta take a little more time when doing a coolant change to bleed the system very well. Not a big deal though, and definitly not worth $500 or even $250.

 

I am with you... That thing is just ugly. Just stick with the T2 fix...

 

Lol, I'll do better by ya next time I promise.

I don't sell them to eliminate the AST. All the ones I sold were for fitment issues (larger turbo's, 20B's, large turbo's on 20B's) with one exception and that was wanting to have something different under their hood. As for worth the $250 If you mean versus buying a cap your right.

I wonder if A-Spec would sell me a bottle of their welding skills?

 

not meaning to bring back old threads, but its better than starting a new thread for an already answered question.
a-spec unit still available? i want to get one for my brew swapped fc
