Title: Info about a Sump Guard!!
Post by: g0ldf1sh on 12 November 2004, 09:18

Hi,

Recently bought a VR6.  It has coilovers and is lowered about what i'd say is 110mm.  So low in fact that i've had to replace my sump as it started to leak oil from being hit all the time.  I was wondering if anyone knows of companies that make sump guards for the car.  It's on 17" wheels and the top of the wheel/tyre is well up in the arch.  I'll have to take some pictures, couldn't believe it when i saw how low it was compare with a standard one.

Anwyay, thanks chaps.

i reckon you're gona need to get one made up like you say.... i used to own and race a V8 trials landrover. it had a serious sump guard on it think it was 5 or 10mm thick.  these people make some serious 4x4 sh*t  --> frogsisland4x4.com (http://www.frogsisland4x4.com/home.php) might make you something or point you in the direction of somewhere that does....  ::)
