Arrived this morning via UPS

, trackday oilpan with baffles and swing arm pickup.

Vipers suffer from lack of oil, on the track in l/h bends and this can cause bearing five to go south.

do you have to fit that and then fit the original one back on when you leave the track?

or do you just leave it on?

Very cool, Paul.

The Police won't be able to catch you at the NEC this year

It was originally designed as a truck engine Will. I don't think they were looking this far ahead at the time.

I suspect that the problem is mainly on American tracks with very high speed banking the Viper can exceed 1.7 G so that can move the oil around quite a bit and by the time the guage knows...................its to late.

Next items are updated ECU (shame they dumped points and rotor arms) and a track exhaust that looses the crosspipe, small mods but worth 25 bhp.

Viper tax means sump 1K and exhaust 1.5 K dollars
