Has Anyone???

[submersiblepotato]

Has anyone dropped the sump outta their astina? I have a 95 BA 1.8 and the main sealing surface on the sump is leaking a bit. It looks like it will come off pretty easy but I don't know if it'll get past the exhaust.....

I'm also considering painting the rocker cover. Was thinking red or black and sanding the raised lettering back and putting a layer of clear on top...

Thoughts anyone?

Will be interesting to see how much gunk there is in the sump...

Dont do black wont have the in your face look you are looking for.
My IC piping is black and is great for cops and mechanics etc they
just think its a standard motor at first look but on the other hand
doesn't have the ta-da impact when I show car mates either.
Red is a nice colour thats what I want to do in either a straight red
2pak tinter with a gloss clearcoat or more likely I will get mine
in red annodised which costs a bit over $100.

p.s There is always polish as well.

Choose a colour that contrasts the duco, I've plans for mine and hope to get the HPC done soon.

Rocker Cover: I've got my BPT one polished, but am intending to get my spare BG cam cover painted in Passion Rose (same color as my car)

kewl, thanks for the rocker cover info, but what about the sump???

I just put some fulli sik mesh in the bumper in front of the radiator to hide those ghastly a/c hoses.... sik mate....

I'v never attempted to remove the sump, if removing the exhaust from the manifold is the only thing holding you back then go 4 it.
Note: The bend from the manifold is also bolted to the block but isn't a biggie.
