Westfield/Caterham ground clearance
Discussion
Hi,
Me again, tried to do a search as i'm sure this has been asked before but search function is out of action.
What kind of road clearance are you guys getting from your Caterham/Westfields particularly the sump area or anything else down the centre of the car, the reason being I have looked at both CVH engined and a Zetec engined cars and whilst the main body has 13-14cm clearance the sump hangs a fair bit lower at only 7-8cm clearance.
Alot of the roads around our way have a hump down the middle due to grain lorries running along them so you end up with a raised ridge down the centre of the road that i'm guessing would need all the 13cm of clearance to be safe.
Do i need to be looking for a 'dry-sumped' engine?
Any thoughts greatly recieved
Regards
