I hopefully I don't get chewed out here since I know this is a heavily discussed topic. But for all the people who TRACK their cars, I would love to get some definitive answers. I just got a an '07 CS 6spd who low miles for an excellent deal. I would love to either take it to the track or autox for fun without fear of blowing up me engine. Plan is to keep it in stock class for autox and no R-comps until I get a handle for things and an extra set of wheels. I saw LN engineering is running a special for their 2qt oil pan + X51 baffles (Bilt Racing 2QT Deep Sump Oil Pan Kit inc. Pickup-Tube Extension, Windage Tray & X51 Baffle - Bilt Racing Products - Products LN Engineering). Will this be enough? I see my options as:
1) Accusump -- Would rather avoid since this would detract from my limited trunk space. I'm trying to keep my car as stock appearing as possible. PITA to revert to stock
2) TTP -- More complicated install. Expensive. Also PITA to revert to stock
3) LN Engineering 2qt deep sump + X51 -- Easy install, easy to revert...but is it enough?
4) Forget the 987.1, and sadly trade up to a 987.2 when (who knows when that will be) a nice car shows up. Does it need anything for track/autox duty?
I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I left all my garage goodies when I moved. So it's hard to wrench in my current place ...this also means no air tools, welder, etc. I only have basic hand tools and my current complex isn't too friendly towards dismantled cars. This is also my DD. With everything I've read here, it seems that everyone sadly says go with option #4. But then there are those few tracking 987.1s without issues.
