Evening Guys/Gals,
I want to get an electronic shift light and and adjustable rev limiter but not sure what will work with the S50.
I want an adjustable one so that I can lower the cut out for drift days so that the car isn't bouncing off the limiter at 7000rpm all day long.
Anybody got any suggestions???
I've found this but don't think it will work with my ignition system.

Shift Light with Rev Limiter on an S50

This may be a silly question but which bolts should actually be replaced with ARP bolts and how bigger job is it?
Is it just head bolts or is head, conrod, exhaust manifold etc??
I know people fit em but I just don't know where!
And Dan, thanks for the suggestion but I wouldn't know where to start with that one!!

I haven't done any baffling to mine and suffered no problems with oil starvation, but then I'm not exactly a ring hero. Mine is a road car.
It would be well worth gettin the sump to a fabricators to install baffles when it's off.
Doing the con rod bolts with the engine in place is entirely possible but please please please be VERY hot on cleanliness and torque the bolts EXACTLY as described... Arrows technical support is excellent if you need to ring them for advice. I had to as I had read two different torque setting on the internet and wanted to know which to use. The guy was extrememly helpful.

Jai

Thanks for your advice guys.
I wouldn't do the bolts myself anyway as I don't trust myself with something that important - I would use the guy that fitted the engine for me.
As my car is just a track car (although it is road legal and I don't trailer it anywhere) I think I will go for a baffled sump, on both trips to Spa I've had a mate run a shell bearing dry and have to recovered home (although not E30s). I think its definately worth doing.
I've done a bit of googling and I can find some pre-fabricated baffles in the states but nothing over here. Do you know of anyone I could send the sump to get done and a rough indication of cost?
Questions, questions, questions!

I've just tried googling them but nothings come up.
Do you have any contact details or just info where they're based?
Sorry for all the questions
