Why did you go for dry-sump?

My oil pan was ridiculously low - just a matter of time when I would
smash it on a kerb. Already had some serious battle scars.

Also this guards against oil starvation during heavy track use.

Some more pics from the shop in Germany:

Cut of switch for electricity:


Some nice CF parts have arrived


















All this CF up front + the dry sump system is going to help to
correct the weight distribution in the car :D
