Im over here in the uk at the moment... anyhow I am soon ordering one of them Cast Alloy ones form Bug@5speed.... do a google. He is located in Germany. I am heading home in March, though will be ordering it here and getting sent home to Perth...
Bugs@5speed posts on here sometimes, do a search and you might find contact details on here. If you have room have you thought of lifting the motor up an inch or so?
I don't think it would matter, he's not racing for sheep stations. What would be waste is if he stuffs a motor buy having a short sump or by grounding his stock sump and loosing his oil
I don't know why I'm arguing with you. You don't think fitting a big lump of a Subaru motor in the back of a car would not have already "unbalance weight from front to back" Shit John 25 mm or so would not be noticeable.

who said we are arguing haha Steve😎 25mm still would steve.I work by the theory keep everything level especially with these motors m8.Think steve! raising a motor higher would cause steering probs (like a seesaw effect)Springs for one will become a bigger factor!

Well from what I can gather the Bug@5speed sumps seem like a good option though pricey I guess, but right now im on pounds so that isnt the biggest issue also in the right place to sort it.
72type3wrx let me know if you want me to sort one for you if not no worrie! 👍
yeah ill double check with the bloke, but I think it is like 340 Euro incl 17% VAT, though I will get the VAT off... I know they are pricey but they look like a good option.

never had an adult passenger in the back of a car and got a "seasaw effect" is raising the motor 25 mm more noticable than an 85 kg passenger

would be if you sat him in the engine bay🤪
besides all the buggie(S) i own and have owned with 10deg kits in them spare wheels & mounts hanging out the back on (heavy) duty rear barwork on top of and mostly behind the engine on swb buggies
AND
owning a vw twin cab often having 700+kg of firewood and numerous other crap over the years on the back loaded very and alot of that is over the engine compartment which houses my lifted ej20t and still no seasaw.
if lifting your motor 25ml is causing seasaw you have a steering problem or a bent pan if i were you id check the front end

there is something wrong with your car
I just dont see the theory of lifting a motor 25mm solving a sump problem as Steve has said I did comment on this being a balance prob....I believe in reason wat you have done with your buggies work but with every day road cars🙅.....theres been alot of blokes doing subie transplants and i have never heard anybody lifting there motor up 25mm.....A bent pan no doubt would cause steering probs.
