GT3071R ibiza build thread

[pdcupra]

typical! Did you get it from pro alloy or Jabba? Looks like i'll be having a few nights in the garage and a sheet of ally! Would the spacing of the baffles have to be spot on or would it be ok if they were a few mm either way of the one in the pic?

 

[h17och]

you can buy a jabba one but mines seatsport......the difference.... me nun no

 

[m0rk]

one is built properly, the other is a cheap copy that falls to bits

 

[h17och]

lol, i was thinking that but i didnt want it to seem like i was saying "mines better than yours" lol

 

[shantybeater]

after reading 40+ pages of progress all i have to say is and

I cant really imagine anything keeping up with this when its done!

 

[rashcupra]

thought i should take a quick browse through looking fantastic so far and top marks for doing it yourself should be ready for edition38 this year

 

[pdcupra]

is the only bad part of the jabba one the flaps and how they are held on?

 

[m0rk]

that's a big 'only'

 

[pdcupra]

i suppose so, but if i am going to make one from the start i can use a better design for that part. can anyone answer my question as to whether baffle spacing is vital?

 

[h17och]

mork....i do like your short n blunt comments. they always make me chuckle and get to the point lol

rash...i woulda thought u would have been reading from the start....cor, i no who me mates are and yes e38 will have a space filled by my car this year and every other show, trackday and meet. i actually want to use my car this year. i think i got 9 weeks use last year nt good

shantybeater...thanks for your supportive pm's and comments. all helps to keep me going (and skint lol)

pdcupra...cant help ya, soz

HoocH

So are there any other options for a baffled sump apart from the pro alloy one now? I fancy gettin the steel bottom'd one and fabbing something up.

 

[rashcupra]

[pdcupra]

are the flaps fixed like the ones in the pictures on this thread? Looks like i'll have to save a few more pennies!

 

[Backdraft]

Baffles

These are genuine Seat motorsport sumps. The flaps are one way flaps and only allow the oil to pass to the center.

[ibizacupra]

worth noting not for cars with the oil sensor in the sump. Seat Sport sump dont have this.(and have skid plates welded on base also-good idea!)

 

[h17och]

agreed, rash but i am reading it lol

 

[rashcupra]

oh!! well.................GOOD

 

[pdcupra]

sorry to go a bit off topic, but i just found jabba's one on their site - £275 all in - pretty cheap in comparison, surely it cant be that bad!
