    Replacement Sump advice - Standard or baffled?

    My sump has some corrosion and started to leak a little so going to buy a new replacement.

    Car used for track days and fast road, anyone have any recommendations and also which ones to avoid?

    Cheers

    Standard is the cheap option, Tomei or Greddy sumps are both meant to be decent and offer a larger oil capacity as well as the baffles. Loads of cheaper options available from the states but not sure on quality.

    This is what I'd go for: http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=536648

    I have a Tomei pan and I'm not impressed with it. Fiddly to fit and poor quality. After a suspected oil leak I removed and found one of the hinges in the bottom of the pan, not good. I've no experience with the Greddy pan but plenty have them and I'm yet to hear a horror story.

    Edit: I have the Greddy diff cover and that's a nice bit of kit.

    Been running the GReddy sump for years, seems perfect.

    My only complaint would be that as it's cast aluminium it's quite easy to strip the thread for the sump plug if you're a bit heavy handed.

    I’ve got one of the Tomei copies the stainless ones and it’s good fits well and seems to work well and doesn’t leak at all

    It was a bit of a pain to get the side bolts done up due to access but can’t complain too much

    I went for the stainless one as just in case it hit something it would bend but not drop the oil unlike a cast ally one which could punch a chunk out

    I have a Moroso one, very nicely made, sheet ally not cast, tig welded and fits perfectly. Only downside is you have to get them from overseas, but FRSport in the States will supply them. I spent ages looking at different ones before deciding on one of these, reading horror stories about tomei/Greddy ones and obviously avoiding the cheap copies.
