A properly baffled sump really is the only option. Alloyproducts on here does them I think so might be worth getting in touch with him.

Alternatively, I have one for sale if you are interested?? Extra capacity and extra baffles welded in...

Cheers,

Currently away from home for a couple of days (hence why I am spending far too much time on the e30zone!!) so can get some pics to you when I am back if that's OK?? Should be Wednesday night..

If you can please PM your address to me I will blast some pics over to you...

Cheers,
Mike
