its not an every day driver its a race car, but since the tank has a massive whole in it, I wasnt sure what the better way for me to go would be!!
I think Ill just go with another tank for now, until i need a fuel cell!

If you're building a track only car I would definitely go with a fuel cell. You can mount it way back int he cargo area next to your battery and really balance the car out a lot...especially since you're probably going to be reducing weight a lot everywhere else. You'll need to add some weight at the rear of the car.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
