Ouch, thats some serious damage.

ouch thats definitally got to hurt, not only the car but the wallet

Well, when it comes to tuning, you better have a big wallet because the more power or the higher you set your goal, the more parts you're gonna break in the process... simple logistics of performance/tuning.

...*now you forced me to say it*... otherwise, go buy a Civic hehehe! =)

True though... #2 gone eh?... Sean, enlighten us... what was the reason Doc?

#2 was oil starvation , the best we can tell. 4.5 liters of oil , pumping around everywhere. 1.063 on the Skidpad. At 1 G the oil stands up on the side of the pan/motor.

Ouch... poor thing. I can just imagine *thinks of a CSI type Scenario but with the engine internals*... Ouch, so sad.

So I guess there is no way of seriously preventing that eh? - except not doing skippad runs!

Dry sump is best bet. We aren't going to lose A/C though. So not that.

Next best is modified pan. This is one of the Bathhurst Cars . This is a huge sump.




We also are planning on running an Accusump -



Its an oil surge tank more or less. Holds oil until oil pressure goes low . The one in the picture is 3 quart. Should be enough to make up for tranisent low oil pressures.
