mav Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Pace and Think Auto i think. Cost is in the region of 800 - 1000 inc all fittings etc IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 ah yes, just been to the Pace web site (doh). Kit excluding tank is £843, tank aprox £150. Tks Mav Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 800 for the bits from pace (sump, pump, belt, engine mount) 250 from think (hoses, laminova, oil pressure take off) 200 from brise (dry sump tank) 2 week lead on the pace stuff, think stuff is in stock, you'll have to ask Brise. If you do get one please let me know - I'd like a few mods on my dry sump tank - it may be we can come to a deal where you have mind and a new one is made up with my mods. I'll happily let you have mine for cost LESS the amount it would cost to mod my tank. ie I pay the same as getting my tank modded but don't have to leave the tank with them for a week. you get a cheaper tank. Happy to let you have a poke at mine anytime. HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bowden Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I am 5 minutes from Pace (they are in Haverhill) If any one is in the area, or needs things picked up etc, give me a shout. I am thinking about fitting a Pace system and have had a look round their place...looks very impresive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dent Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Top piece of kit. Been down this route and am very happy with the results. The best bit is everything I needed came with the kits from Pace, Brise and Think Auto. I did not need to chase up any of the suppliers for wrong or missing parts. It all went together without any problems. Most unusual. A 7 is for life, not just for Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I am also considering fitting the Pace Dry Sump kit to my car . Hoopy What mods are you considering to your tank and what are the benefits over the standard offering 🤔 Cheers Mark D Su77on Se7ens Avoiding the Kerbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 18, 2003 Support Team Share Posted July 18, 2003 Is it an engine out job to fit this or can it be done by an inexperienced owner with the engine in-situ? I'd really like to fit a dry sump but the cost of the Caterham kit is prohibitive and I think it is probably an engine out job due to the tank being in the bellhousing (happy to be corrected on this).

scooby dooby doo Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Might be doable without removing the engine. but you need to do some fairly major stuff - eg disaseemble the std oil pump and remove the innards change the filter mount change the crank pulley. i can send you the installation instructions if you let me know your email address.

Andrew Dent Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Mine was done with the engine in place. Nothing was too awkward, but a small amount of messing was required to sort out the water pipes and Laminova. My laminova used to live in the lower pipe, but there is just not enough room. Laminova now lives in the top water pipe and is fine. I now have a machined K cam cover, so th second breather tube is not required on the tank.

scooby dooby doo Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 how does your breather setup work then? i think the best solution is cam cover to tank and then tank to catch tank. HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dent Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 breather from top of the tank to the bottle. Breather from cam cover to bottle. Still 2 pipes, just a slightly differnet route. A 7 is for life, not just for Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 ah right I understand. The advangtage with my way (well, Its Peter C's way to be honest ❗ ) is that the negative pressue in the cam cover stops most of the oil going near the catchtank. You may end up having the catchtank as a sort of holiday home for some oil before it gets sucked into the cam cover. Or am i missing something 🤔 Just curious etc...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 18, 2003 Support Team Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hoopy - YHM. This looks interesting and maybe do-able over the winter. Cheers, Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
