hackin_n_bashin Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just booked myself in at Mallory Park on the 19th Sept, got some tuition booked in to boot. Have an LSD to rework in the week beforehand, try and fit my harness without making a pigs ear of it, change the battery for an optima and fit the front part of the cage.

Be SURE to run some extra oil in the sump, say 5 to 10 mm over the full mark, hot and rested for ten minutes. Gerrards is a killer as far as oil surge goes. Take care, run off is minimal in places, it's not an easy circuit for getting it wrong. Have a good day, take care though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good day, take care though! on the subject of oil surge, I do like to run sticky slicks and this is a concern to me, are there any low cost tricks to help prevent this . or is it a dry sump only job?

The stock sump baffling seems pretty resistant to surge, personally I'd risk a little excess oil level and a BIG and BRIGHT oil pressure warning light and see how it goes. Accusumps work, but just more oil plumbing and something else to go wrong. I doubt a 2JZ-GTE in a Supra on stock type suspension and rims that fit under stock arches will generate enough G to be a problem, even on slicks. The MKIV is probably not ideal for slicks without major suspension mods as the camber change curve isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
