Its not in a massively different place to the sump to be honest and with the weight lost with no heavy front cover and oil pump system it will be fine, also when will it ever be sat full when I am out on track?!

Couple of pics from today
The boys at WGT were not happy with the paint in the engine bay so it got redone today



Both oil coolers now mounted too


The rotors are being finished off today and tomorrow so by next week we should have an engine in

Cool as fuck, what sort of bhp and rev limit you aiming at?

The oil tank there wouldnt last me a single DWYB, but depending what its used for itd be fine

I presume you going to adapt the filler cap on it a bit as looks like the headlamps in the way at the mo.

Looking at 420-430 rwhp ie around 500 fly @ 9k limit at 9.5k

It will be mainly a Time Attack car so no worries on the tank for me at all really

We have cut the light unit so you can undo the cap but it will still be easier to drop the bumper, its only a couple of bolts a snap clip and some cable ties so not a big deal

500 horsies and 9.5k limit will be sweet as, ideal numbers i reckon.

Not really thought about weight but they are 1250 stock so I would think around 1150

Hoping for 475-500 @ 9k really
