Hi guys,
I'm looking for a solution to oil starvation on my e30 track car.
My immediate thoughts are to buy/mod the sump, does anyone know who sells a kit or has one ready baffled for sale?
Cheers,
Ed.

VAC motorsport do a kit. Someone may know of a seller in the UK who does them though.

Thanks guys, I've found both of those, even found this
http://slidewaysonline.com/E30Drifter/p ... =21&t=2155
that has a template to make your own version of the Ireland engineering one! But do they sit a littl low in the pan to be effective?
Any racers out there that can advise on what they do, must be a common problem/solution for those in the Kuhmo/PBMW series?

Use an IE type + crank scraper, car used in PBMW and no problems
