Looks like fun, cant wait to do the same in my 330, only have to fix the drivetrain vibration then im home free on driving it hard finally.

Hope the oil pump is holding up!

This must have been early in the day, when I was at Oulton the floppy marker at Hislops was gone by my 2nd session!

[@Just_A_330ci]

Mid afternoon, good driving etiquette all day to be honest, I did however clip the mirror on the post but it stayed in.

That looks well planted, how's the life of the AR1's looking?

[@Just_A_330ci]

After 4.5 days they still have plenty of life in them, I'm surprised to be honest.

What oil pump do you run?

[@Just_A_330ci]

I’m back running a standard oil pump with a lock wire after running two vac motorsport kits which failed.

[@VictorPitstop]

@@Just_A_330ci oh wow, good to know! Have you had a lot of track days on the pump nut wire solution? I also have seen the Seems Legit Garage’s oil pump kit.

Run the s54 oil pump with s54 sump. It has two oil pickup

[@Just_A_330ci]

@@johnsmith-gm4kf Never have any real issues with oil pressure to warrant changing the pump for the twin pickups. Only get a minor dip on heavy braking but the standard pump and a baffle works fairly well. I’m led to believe you still swaps the shafts in the s54 pumps to interface with the m54 chain so still have the standard sprocket issues.

@@johnsmith-gm4kf $3k for that setup, but I bet there will be nothing ever to worry about on that motor!
