Hi Chris,

My rear is down about 40mm.

I want a 2-stage pump I think...

Maybe summer '06 we can storm the 'ring? I need my engine and trans ready beforehand. I must be able to bury GTi's. I want to get round in less than 10mins

Matt

Excellent; I would really like to do that as well.
The Nurburgring in under 10 minutes is kinda fast I thought. Jeremy Clarkson had to practice 2 days to do it in under 10 min and that was in the newest 200hp Jag...
His lady (!) instructor did it in her first lap with his car: 9:37 or s/th I believe and it was a diesel...

I wish we could see Top Gear over here. Speed TV is now showing 5th Gear and I love that show.

I get BBC World on digital cable in Toronto, sure enough I saw my first segment of Top Gear ... LOVED the comparison between the Bobsled and the Mitsu Evo ... who can get down the side of a mountain fastest ... the Evo lost by a second ... WOW.


Back on topic ... I've priced a few setups now ... Autocraft 2 stage - 495 USD, CB DS pump - 99 USD, CSP DS pump - 169 USD.

I've heard the CB pump does not have a big enough scavange stage, and oil could still accumulate in the case/heads ... is this a big deal though ?

The idea would be a constant supply of oil to the engine during hard cornering/acceleration/deceleration and I'm sure the CB pump can handle this as the oil supply is coming from the DS tank (12 qt ?) ... correct ?

I was considering an accusump but the last thing I need on the track is the accusump discharging 3 qts into the engine and then taking time to recover the oil, just as the next turn approaches

Thoughts ?

Sandeep
