I had enough trouble with the shift gate right-handed when I first had a 5 sp. I could never handle this thing left-handed. And then the clock-wise traffic circles, OMG.

I think so, it looks like it's there in the farther away pics (3rd and 4th from last)

This car is COOL.

The car looks GREAT except that UGLY hood scoop. Take that off (or just make the design more attractive somehow) and that car would be EXCEPTIONAL! It looks REALLY well built! That dash set up is spectacular!

They have the fuel tank w/ the make up tank out back, but I didn't see anything in the pics that were posted to make me think it had a dry sump...what did you see to make you think that Greg? I know folks have done it...pretty expensive, but I have seen it done and they didn't spare much expense on this car for sure...

The tank in the back is the dry sump pil tank with a breather. You can see the oil feed and return lines go through the aluminum bulkhead, and in the other picture of the driver's seat, you can clearly see them on the floor passing near the Motec ECU strapped to the side kick panel.


Too bad it's a right hooker... Hmmmmm... Kind of pricey though at 60K USD

Richard that is almost exactly how my make up tank looks for fuel on my race car... I would have thought if it were hot oil it would be in braided lines front to back...not just on the send side where as for fuel (those hoses are much bigger than my fuel hoses though...certainly more indicative of oil lines) that is fine because the lower pressure on the return side...

The car is FREAKIN' AWESOME!

I was a bit confused by that setup myself.

The secondary tank is a catch can / oil seperator so the clear lines see almost no pressure. The gauge is a great idea for a quick glance to see how much oil is in the catch can. I'm willing to bet that gauge is also connected to the dash display to set off a warning if oil level in the can reaches a certain capacity.

The hood scoop should really be facing the other direction.

Hacker, I agree on the direction of the scoop...it would look TONS BETTER TOO! I also was wondering why a person would have a couple of gauges at the back on their fuel system, so as you describe it does make sense to me. Dry sump set up is NICE!
