From now on, the nitrous tank stays in the garage, except when I'm heading off to the track. I guess summer parking lots are too warm for nitrous tanks.
plus its illegal to have a nitrous bottled in your car when you are on the road.

How would you transport a bottle if you can't have it in the car? It's not illegal, speeding is.

I think it's okay to have a bottle in the car -- just not connected to the engine.

i was trying to but i had a wiring issue i have since corrected. i added some additional draw to the elctrical system, and was popping my f/p fuse for the spray. needless to say i ran 4 ga. wire off the battery to the back of the car with a distribution block, problem solved. i did however hit it with 125 the last day of the shoot that was fun!!! i actually did it with a friend in the car. i gotta say it is fun making a 10 sec. run on the street!!! of course it was for the chase seen, problem is no one could catch me, lol!!!!
