It's not often that a company makes this many revisions to an existing product. I'm impressed!
The "REVISED" Mishimoto Fiesta ST oil catch can kit now only offers a black hose option which explains a lot now that I finally inspected a kit. Here's what I found
1.) The hoses are black hi-temp rubber as opposed to silicone. The previous Black, Red, and Blue Mishimoto silicone options were notorious for oil bleed or seeping over time.
2.) Oil Catch Can - now has 3 mounting points on the top vs. 2 previously. The old bracket had 2 holes or long slots available before but we could never figure out why the oil catch can had only 2 holes?? Some owners would actually drill and tap a hole for the 3rd mounting point which is pretty funny.
3.) Oil Can fittings are now anodized black aluminum and o-ring sealed. Previously the fittings were black plastic and NPT thread. This is a huge upgrade.
4.) Mounting Bracket - this is the big one and truly why Mishimoto made changes to this kit. So many warranty claims due to the thin bracket breaking which was mostly caused by engine movement.
The new bracket is 3mm thick and has a black wrinkle finish. It also has a nice support added that runs the length of the bracket.
I'm going to add the revised kit to our 2018 Magnetic Fiesta shop car - follow up pics and impressions to follow
