VeedubVR 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I got my replacement sump fitted todayHad a plated welded on the bottom near the sump plug becasue thats the part that hangs the lowest and catching. The head of the sump plug was pretty much in half where it had caught and the old sump leaking. A few scraps along the sump but nothing majorfinally got round to getting the engine lifted at the front. I wasnt sure if just lifting the front would be enough but it seems to have brought the sump up quite a bit. There was still room between the 6branch and heat shield to raise the other two mount but probably about 10mm max. engine spacer fittedside on view how it sits with the sub frameIts not exactly flush with the sub frame as what some people have said happened when theres were done, but still any extra clearance helps Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Cheers mateYeah the adaps are for the RFs. They don't quite sit how I want them at the front and could do with being in very slightly. All about the stanceInterior goes in thursday for work and the car goes into HTG for more paint the same day Rear coilies are no longer seized, so will be lower than ever for UD Needs MOT before UD though....
