Pity the £2115.97 price tag dosen't include,
Oil Tank Hoses/hose ends
2007-2007 Subaru Alternator bracket,
Cosworth high volume/pressure oil pump

How much do you think the pump alone would cost on top of the £2115.97?

I've seen pumps on ebay for a couple of hundred, you could start with a standard sump - etc etc.

Why bother sometimes....

Nice one Reub 👍

I always thought a dry sump would be a great solution for the sump clearance problem.
Why (besides cost) didn't anybody do it yet?

good to know im not the only one that thinks the prices for dry sump pumps/kits is insane, that said its definately the best way to never worry about breaking your sump, so... about that exhaust/oil filter thats now the lowest point... the list goes on doesnt it?

Out of curiosity, does anyone on here have a source for fittings & lines for this kind of thing?

I just found this sump on a US site http://www.drysump.com/pan32.htm No prices though.

all this kind of cool, but remember asking JVL a while back if he was running a dry sump and he said he engine builder told him that subarus didn't need them as the sump was well designed to begin with. I guess AWDs may be a little different though.
