As title really. When being enthusiastic around twisties, on 2 seperate occassions, have experienced oil starve.

What's the best way of rectifying/proofing for this?

If you're going fast enough to get oil starvation on the road, I'd slow down a bit.

Failing that, if you hoon it everywhere and are likely to get this problem again, either overfill the car slightly, use a swirl pot or change to a twin pick-up oil pump/sump assembly from an Evo.

That's assuming your engine doesn't now sound like a skeleton having a wk in a biscuit tin...

rofl @ skeleton wking in a biscuit tin

Nah I stopped as soon as it occured. Only happens on Really twisty B-roads (of which we are surrounded). I presume a swirl pot is simillar to a catch tank, and would involve remote filter relocation?

Evo sump - they baffled as standard?
