Pinto problem

[Pingu]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if the RS2000 alloy sump provides enough floor clearance or is the Westfield expensive jobbie a must?

(I'm not keen on shortening the original one)

If so does anyone have a spare...otherwise its off to feebay.con .

Thanks

Pingu

Had this dilema when I built mine.

Can't remember exactly what put me off the RS2000 option but I ended up buying the W/F version as I was getting 10% off everything at the time.

Reason may have been that there was little to be gained clearance wise but can't be positive...sorry

Got RS2000 sump & bellhousing on mine, is a little lower that a cut down one but only by 10mm or so.

Just been looking at ebay, and there is a sump going soon. Was thinking of it myself, but not just yet! Sorry no link, as I have just closed the page. Seems to be a fair bit of interest though.

Thanks all.

Will price up from Yukspeed - does it include pick up pipe modification?

Liam - I had spied that one too - hence needing quick decision, but there always seems to be on for sale.

Wookie - is your sump lower than the "hoop" thing at the front of the tunnel? If not then its probably enough...

My Yukspeed sump cost about £75-90 from memory with the modified pickup

I have one of paul's sumps (£50 exchange IIRC), good quality welding and gives you an extra 1 1/2" clearance

I have the RS2000 alloy sump and have never hit the ground. Used to have the standard sump but bashed it every time I took the car out. The RS sump only gives 10-15mm extra clearance but seems to have been enough to have made all the difference.
