Baffled Sump?

[olddan]

Done a search but can't find anything.

Did the ph2 172 come with any sort of baffled sump or oil slosh prevention?

If not is there much need for one for a track car/fast road car? Or does the standard setup prove good enough.

Cheers.

Thanks, standard set up looks excellent.

 

[marinemackay2003]

no worries dude

as fred says in the thread, cup racers used the standard set up, so should be more than capable

Flol @ the state of that, goes back to what I said in another thread about the majority of "tuners" being clueless conmen.

 

[Fred@BTM]

that wasn't a tuner! that was a motorsport prep company!

Stop taking the piss out of my baffle. Tin snips and you're away!

Get it back on the Wall of Shame

 

[marinemackay2003]

wonder how much they charged to make and fit that?

Same s**t different label, you know as well as I that this sector of the automotive Market is rife with shot like that.

 

[Fred@BTM]

to use the word motorsport i would hope the people that work their were qualified in it, i know i am and i only use performance (i'm qualified in that too )

Hope and reality are two different things though. There are plenty of cowboys out there who go from fitting springs and induction kits on driveways for mates to running their own tuning/performance/motorsport centre without doing any form of training nor really knowing what the hell they're up to. Gift of the gab can get you a long way when you're dealing with a largely ignorant customer base who can't spend their money fast enough.

Thats a bit rough!

Fred - what sort of stuff have you done with Motorsport?

Cheers

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm bits and bobs, Renault F1 said i was "best student welder" way back when, did a bit in touring cars and rally cars in sweden then ended up on the Superfund project in Austria/Hungary then they binned it after spending €10mil

 

[olddan]

Excellent - bet you've had some experiences then!
