After re-reading Rob Virgo's sump tale it got me thinking. Coz I've pretty much got the handling sorted on my car and it tends to stick like the proverbial to a blanket, what are the chances of suffering from oil starvation when on track????. My sump, like the engine is bog standard.

 

errrrr yes as i was thinking the same paul im looking into a big wing sump

 

speak to dingy pal

 

Looks Nice fella, how you doing these days??

Whats the difference for a 4x4, and how much do these go for?

 

unsure on price as its always matey matey rates like i think with 4*4 you can only wing the one side or summat (gus was saying)

doing ok and getting by cheers

 

You want one like Porkies:



I think this was done by JapSpeed Racing, but i think they have gone bust now.

Anyone know where i could get something like this done?

 

Nice one Wes, I would have thought any good ally welder could knock one up but |I suppose its have the dimensions and details of any other internal mods. I would have thought the Zoo, Mike R or Martin H would be able to get/make something like this.

I wonder if Porkie has any more piccies of this, plus internal shots?

 

big wing sumps are defo a worth while investment for track days and serious road abuse

gated and baffled are - there was a picture of a gated/baffled 2wd big wing sump on ere a few months since, looked absoltely fantastic, and highly expensive

 

Paul,

I've got the same one as in Matt's pic for my car.

Bearing in mind you're going to be doing a few trackdays, it's a very worthy investment - especially as your car reportedly handles as well as it does.

Plus, you know you'll have a set of slicks on there soon enough

 

mine is baffled the original side walls are still in the wings, they just have holes in them

marco has a real bling thing but i aint got any pics

 

thats who had the bling sump - marco - lemme see if i can find a pic, was absolutely amazing piece of work that

 

Marco's gated and baffled 2wd big wing sump

 

Cool

Rich you git, how the feck did you know, get out of my head!

Got to find a cheap set of second hand wheels first, stg 3 etc etc.......

oh the list goes on

 

Back up for Monday

 

I didn't know - it's just inevitable!

I went down the same path, so before you know it, they'll be bucket seats in the front

 

I've actually been thinking what a bucket seat would be like re-trimmed in leather so as not to ruin the look inside

 

speak to Harvey Gibbs mate, i got a big wing sump when i had my engine built, only costs about £150 i think mate, and they are pressure tested for pin hole leaks , makes so much difference in oil temperature too, keeps nice and cool

 

Paul I'm not going to bang my head on the cage next september am I? LOL

 

Saw a good thread on turbosport with piccies of gated and baffled sumps but can't find it now . It actually used what looked like door hinges for the gates

 

Ha, I really would like something like Spiky's just bought, but I had a stripped out track car in the S2. If I get a new job with co car then Yes, you will most likely bang your head on a cage But failing that the interior of will be staying the same as I use it nearly every other day on the road.

 

Good idea Paul, but you deffo need the baffle and the big wing. The propper gated baffle can be got from Mountune and they are just over £100 i think when I got mine. Unfortunatly we don't do ally welding at the moment at our place and I have just sold my mountune sump to Kev Catt.

 

THanks Sean, what are you using instead? are you going dry sump??????

 

No I am not going dry sump. But the 7.5" Ford Motorsport front diff I am using requires that you also use the super bling Ford Motorsport Magnesium sump that goes with it. The Mag sump comes all big winged and baffled.

 

Oh dear thats a shame
