Cheers guys! It can go a bit lower (its on coilovers all round) but its a nightmare with the speedhumps and i have split the sump already just hitting small dips in the road!!! The new engine will get a shallower bowl and baffles in the sump then its only the xmember that will hit!! :lol:

Just tried that, unsoldered trigger from the pad, ran it up and it holds back at 2k as before with the wire disconnected.
