Yep Ian is your man

Re: Subaru alternative sump
Not seen Ians handywork, but Smallcar in the states also make a low-profile sump:

And I think RJES were looking into it too, but not sure if they ever got there:

Not that I've been looking into this or anything
Cheers,
Ben.

Re: Subaru alternative sump
i know the small car one, ive seen it installed with the RJES engine bar and it fits fine and looks the part. but its pretty expensive!! id like to hear of one closer to home. I dont htink the RJES sump will surface anytime soon, just going by its progress so far.
together with an exhaust, it seems to me theres a fair hole in the market here and would be a good business venture for someone with the skills.
hence being interested n this mysterious facebook sump

Re: Subaru alternative sump
They look pretty good, I've used my wife's account to look at them on the Facebook group page. Fitted the standard sump on mine yesterday and it is low. I'd like to see some detailed pics too as I'll be getting one next year, if I'm ever allowed to spend money again.

Re: Subaru alternative sump
I didn't use Facebook as I'm not a member on there , I found him via volkszone as his user name is The darkside on there
Will post full details of what it's like and loads of pics once it gets here ,,, it doesn't come with a pic up pipe as he didn't have any so I'm sending him 3-4 so he has a few spare for the next customers ,, my only concern really is weather is has baffels or not as I forgot to ask lol , but if it doesn't then it shouldn't matter to much as I'll be fitting my own cosworth baffel plate (£200) between the sump and engine anyway
They are £250 plus whatever the pickup pipe cost to modify and postage
This is the image I found of them on the net for now
