| Post subject: | Quickshifts and sump guards |
Is it worth it buy a sump guard for normal everyday driving. my deluxe is a roundy with standard wet suspension. the car has just been rebuilt so i don't want to smash the sump open by a mean gutter. And is it worth it to fit a quickshift to a standard remote 3 syncro gearbox. Im just wondering as if i order a new sump guard from minisport in adelaide. it would definitely be a proper KAD one. Thanx for ur help. |

I'd say you don't really need a sump guard for everyday driving... But everynight driving is a different story, if you've still got the old lucas head lights that barely light up anything, watch where you're driving at night.. There was a huge pot hole on the side of the road where I was parking.. I couldn't see it at all, it caused a nice scraping on the sump. No damage, just scraped a few fins. If I bought one of those minisport sump guards, they look too good and cost too much that I'd be scared of scraping it, let alone the actual sump. |

Far out - if I have to make another trip to the Central Coast I may as well post myself to the RAAF base there - would save on petrol!!! Just jokes...Sump guard would be good - I kinda clobbered a bit of carrion on the way back from picking up the subframe from Raymond Terrace(thankfully it was in the Fairmont - not much damage...)but if I was in the mini like I should have been - well I may not have been here right now - think it was a wombat... Hmmmm - decisions...BTW sorry to see the black bullet go on - is there anything else in the pipeline? Hooroo Rob Forsyth Miniot!! |
