Interesting swing arm pick up sumps from ARE

Hi

I read about this new swing arm pick up sump in a car magazine. It looks like they will be doing one for EJ20s soon. I'm going to shoot them off an email to see if the sumps are the stock depth so that they would be suitable for our use on EJ20s.

Aerobatic aircraft use a similar idea called a "flop tube" in their oil and fuel tanks. A flexible weighted tube always seeks the part of the tank where the fluid is most likely to be.

Man Richard does some nice stuff... how the hell he can make something like that and retails it for under $1000 is beyond me.. the billet alone would have to be a few hundered not to mention the machine and design time...

Guess I am going for a drive to sheck out options for my EJ 25T ...

Great Aussie Product ....

Hi Brad

I still haven't had a reply as yet. If you know him, can you try and impress upon him the need for something like this for VW swaps and our need for them to be just a little shorter than stock.

Hi

I just called Richard at ARE. The sales of his 1st sump for the Nissan SR20 have been so disappointing that he is not going ahead with the EJ20 sump.

Hi

I tried to impress upon the guy that there would be a market for them for Subaru to VW swaps, he felt the set up costs would be to much. Maybe if we could get enough people together and put some money up, maybe he would reconsider? Brad if you know the guy maybe we could work something out.
