For the people mentioning getting flats...... I don't know about everyone else but AAA is cheap as hell and I have a cell phone. I'm sure more than 90% of the people on this website has a cell phone. If this was like the 80's or something I'm sure more of us would keep the spare in the car.

I can put the spare on the car in less than 5min. quicker that waiting 2hrs for AAA.

I'd say spare tire well, and a couple cans of fix-a-flat.

I used fix a flat on my car ONCE! the nail hole was in center tread, I got to the tire shop a day later and they could not fix the hole due to the stuff in a can plus the tire would not balance out any more. I hade to buy a new tire... Dont ever use that junk in a can.

yeah that fix a flat is complete ****. i used to work at just tires when i was in highschool and we dealt with that **** all the time. dont ever use that stuff. its not only bad for fixing flats, but it sucks if your the person that has to change the tire b/c the crap leaks all over

I read a response about this not being a good idea because the nitrous moves horizontally instead of to the back of the bottle on launch. However, if the top of the bottle is tilted up, it seems that the liquid should not be a problem because the gas shoud rise. This setup seems perfect in theory. Does any have any experience with the gas not being available.

^ Its fine as long as you keep the bottle more than 1/2 full. When it gets low it stops working much sooner than if its mounted properly.

the prroblem is that the siphon tube is in the middle of the bottle, at the bottom . if you hit the gas, the liquid will move to the back, and if you are low there is a chance the tube wont be submerged. but you'd have to be pretty low on juice...

Anybody modify a 860 mount to use it behind the passenger side seat? Contemplating doing this, instead of buying a remote bottle opener. When I had the passenger side seat out for my roll bar install it was tempting to not put that seat back in, and put the bottle there. Guess I put the seat back in and am contemplating putting it behind that seat.
