Hi!

When driving on the Nürburgring Nordschleife i get in some sharp turns the warning buzzer + low oil warning light. I check the oil level after every one or two laps and refill it to max.

I am running on normal street tires, i dont want to know what happens when i switch to semi slicks.

Is there any (more or less) cheap solution for this problem available?

A pal has the same Problem with his first gen.

Thanks,

Daniel

lucky bastard, hmm sounds like you need to look into the pineapple racing oil pan insert.

Then i am fine? But i don't find oil pan inserts on their website. Only the whole new oil pan.

You refill it every few laps? How much do you put in?

hmm it's a driver problem i'll have to commandeer your car and take for a lap myself next time i'm in the EU j/k i think those baffles are exactly what you need

Thank you for the link, VacavilleFC!
Are you often in europe? When you are here the next time, message me for a Nürburgring meet.

My5ABaby: Don't know exactly. It's more or less one bottle (1 liter) on 8 laps. 1 lap is 20.8 km / 12.9 miles.

The fuel economy is not the best. I need 10 liters of fuel for one lap. Quiet bad for a stock engine.

Greetings,
Daniel

You have to put a liter of oil in your car every 100 miles... that's a bit much.

i hit london, amsterdam and paris last january. i was thinking about going somewhere this january but my friends in london are too busy with school. but i also have friends in paris so i might go visit them. i just need to pay down my credit card a bit. that'd be rad to get to ride in a 7 while i'm there

VacavilleFC, in january there is 100% snow on the Nürburgring. Sure, it would be a lot of fun, but there is no possibility for a normal guy to get on the ring when there is snow on the track. Maybe there are some days in february without snow, but it would be better in march or april.

My5ABaby: On normal use the engine needs more like 200-500 ml for 1000 km. Don't know if the engine only needs so much oil at the race track.
