Hi robertb, as I recall my build the two centre popper bases are for the tonnue cover if you want to fit one, they were self tapper screw fitted, or there are rubber grommits to plug the holes. Fit the bases as you may wish to fit the cover later. enjoy the build.I asked loads of questions during mine. Dave

A BBQ would be essential on the evening I would have thought. Cheque in post *thumbup* Dave Firing on all three cylinders

at Castle coombe today had to stop due to white smoke coming from car. does't appear to be from exhaust, but at various enginge rev levels. Appolo has oil on bottom plug which is wet could this be bioling as it his exhaust 🤔 this is only place I can see any sign of a leek or could it be more ❗ doesn't do it all the time *confused* drove home 70 miles at a fair pace no problem ❗ Dave

yes please from Dave Warren 1 XLfor me and 1 Med for my son Stalin Warren Dave Jackson was right on both counts Thanks

*thumbup* cheers Granteuk lets hope the sun shines *cool* dave

Sure it's been asked before running on 13" rims for track days from 14" for road and the speedo seems to be alot faster on 13" rims how much is the difference? it can't be me just driving quicker or are my chances realy that good of running away with all the tropheys on Sunday main worry speed cameras on way to track pass 3 Dave

Gentlemen, the tests carried out on my brandnew built, by my own fair hands paid for by my wifes hard earnt cash, 7, were not in vien.I would't have volenteered my pride and joy, as yours is to you I am sure.But cost is always an issue especialy after a newly purchased car. the gauge used as stated before was very responsive and seemily very accurate it was fitted to the oil filter plate alongside the standard dash gague, no pressure was lost after fitting the baffle compared to before the fitting of it where we constantly lost pressure.. the dash one never showed any movement before or after as we know they are not the best. I can garentee I saw this with my own eyes to my own car if anyone wants to know.We never lost pressure after the baffle was fitted but did before. Dave Jackson Sh 😳gged my car senseless (he's a fair driver of a 7 ❗) with me in it and I was looking also at the gague and the state of my tyres, we managed to fuel starve the car but loose no oil pressure on the rapid circuits. I don't know if anyone has managed to do this, we did this about 5 times.this shows how hard we were hammering it,I drive O.K. but he really did put alot into the test as I could only have got half as much and probably alot of others could have only managed this much. But we did't loose pressure after the baffle was fitted ❗ ❗ ❗ My summary, it is £150 compared to £1700 (dry sump) no chance of clearing that with the limiter. Don't let DJ drive your car if it is not fitted and you do like I do lots of trackdays and start sprints this year, then the engines gone anyway ❗ If my engine packs up after the end of this season or during I'll let you all know what caused it. if it does't then was this alternative an option we wish we had popped in, it certainly will help slow an inevitable prosess Quite simple really no technical jargon from my end just how it was as I saw it,we did't loose oil pressure that thing everyone pipes on about at every track and race meet I have ever been to. hope this can help some people. Dave

Dave f after suffering such embarresment *eek* went to Halfrauds and picked up a set of "red ring" I think they were called £6.99 fitted straight into same fixing points just had to make earth contact, as suggested on threads before. 10 minutes to fix *thumbup* great sound

BB one XL and one M T-shirts please and car stickers please Dave

sorry Simonhar, yes this was put through its paces on the track, Dave

simonhar, don,t know about on SV but recently changed mine to the second down from the bar or third up from the loose end and it made a huge difference. Dave

Will Fly, referrence oil pressures with baffle fitted we did some hard driving at speed and fast continuous cornering breaking ect. before and after fitting baffle. before baffle pressure dropped all the time after baffle fitted the same tests showed pressure to remain constant were needed this was with a much more acurate gague than the standard one on your dash. It seems very good as suggested get rid of foam Dave

David Nelson, It will only take an Hour to do job, make sure oil and engine are cool first. you can only fit the baffle in one place as it is made to fit. As suggested look at the foam what a mess. I have hit the engine hard since fitting the baffle and it runs very well. My car was the test car and it was a simple but very effective fit the results were very possitive i.e. oil pressure gague wise we had a very sensitive one fitted to the car during testing. Dave

chocolate television I was impressed with the results even though it was my car, there is a problem with oil flow and old copies of low flying show evidence of this, £2k for a dry sump or £400 all in for appolo and surge baffle is good house keeping. we hit this thing hard and it stood up to the test I took the car to top speed and nothing was untoward I have good faith in the product and I was the test car a nervous one at that but the sensitive gauge we used was very truthful of what was happening to the oil pressure before and after the baffle was fitted, which by the way was a doddle and I am mechanical banana hands Dave

cooper trooper, same for me from day one, thats first popping out and second crunching it's all falling apart now. wait till you get on track then you notice real bits falling off 😬 😬 😬 go for it if it ain't broken . it soon will be ❗ Dave

owls castle, first shout if poss 07979538409 Dave

Ian, If it's any consolation my gearbox does the same, has done from day one. 1.6 ss 6 speed 18 months old best cure I found hold the bu88er in now you got me paroniod 😳 😳 😳 Dave

Mighty metro, Dave Jackson South Wales AO and myself are doing some pressure tests with and without the baffle which has been modified for the K series. the weather has been too wet to get the speed round our local track to get the g's needed. so watch this space and we hope for some good news and massive money saving results compared to dry sump. Appolo will be nessassery,£200.plus baffle £160 approx dry sump £1800 Demon tweaks to spend the savings *thumbup* Dave

davesport, this is a good way to stick on the wings very strong in deed. the best way to remove in the future is to use flexy blade i.e. hacksaw to split the seal as it will be difficult to just pull off. then scape away left overs no vissible fixings is nice. but remember Pu sealant is very messy stuff if you get any on you or any bits of car you need special cleaner. Dave

jackel, I'm no expert but 2001 to date models are all 12v suply and the green is ignition fused power. blue and red are connecting wires. best bet disconect the battery Dave
