Dry Sump?
Not sure whether to post this in R&C or UTH, but this is where I've found most references from searching...
There's quite a few posts in the past about people planning to dry sump their motors, but I haven't found any completed projects yet. Has anyone here fitted a dry sump system?
I'm looking at it for fitting an F20C lump into a kit car, to gain a little ground clearance and combat any potential oil surge problems. Some people here in the UK have used the Race Engine Design system on similar projects. I'm really interested to see if anyone has any experience of the ARE system, which, even with import costs, looks to be a cost-effective alternative.

I don't see an S2000 specific kit at ARE and the Race Engine Design page doesn't load.
I have seen dry sumps in the Ultralites but no one has been excited about the cost or benefits. They usually just section the oil pan to get a little more clearance.
