Elise aparts Christmas sale

[domtheplumb]

Just a heads up guys , the Elise parts sump is in the sale at a 10% reduction
that's a saving of £50 .
If I'm correct I think this sump is probably one of the best for our 1zz or 2zz engines , if anyone has one fitted perhaps they could comment ?
I'm very tempted to treat myself   s:D s:D

[keeper2611]

So it's still £450? Is that cheap and worth it?

That of course depends on your viewpoint
Speaking personally ,I have a turbo fitted so this sump will solve a number of issues I have at the moment
such as where I can put the oil temp sensor ,drain for the turbo oil feed ,and extra capacity for when I track the car
Cost wise I have put far far more into the engine than £450 so anything that will keep it safer is worth the cost to me !

Fair enough, but for a "normal" engine, not really worth it then?

[domtheplumb]

I wouldn't see the need on a standard engine ,but I'm no expert .

Just posted this up to let members know its reduced ,if like me they want one anyway it is good to know when its cheaper .

If you are tracking a car then it makes sense to have a baffled sump.
A few members me included, have suffered with oil burning issues. This can lead onto oil starvation to bottom end bearings. A baffled sump can reduce oil sloshing around in sump. If like me you like cornering quickly even with standard suspension oil starvation can become a problem

I ordered mine on Thursday and was here Monday morning. Seems really well made, looking forward to having it fitted on the car.

Yes, ended the other day unfortunately.

Anyone know an alternative place to get a baffled sump?
£454.99 delivered from tuning development seems the best so far

[domtheplumb]

Mine came between Christmas and the new year , looks absolutely superb quality !
made the right decision I think
