    I've decided to upgrade my oil sump baffle and will do a group buy from Gerry at Forza Automotive in AU. I hope to get at least three others that would want to go in with me on this. Let me know by the end of the week if any of you are interested.

    LOL, I spoke to Gerry not 5 minutes ago and he said he'd had a bit of a run on baffles in the last few days. Like Dr Tommy says, they're great.

    Chris and Sean have signed on for this group order. We just need one more and we can get the order in. I expect that to happen today. I am hoping for at least 4, but there is room for others if anyone out there would like it. Sean, I can drop yours off and save on the shipping.

    How much are they in the group buy? Can they be dropped shipped directly to me? I need one and a friend also wants one.

    It looks like we are up to a group buy of 7. This will bring the shipping costs down. If anyone else wants to join let me know as I will get the order in my tomorrow. I will PM you with the details. Thanks again for making this group buy possible. We will be able to get the units for below $200 each including shipping!

    Put me down for one as well please. Will these work on a 88 Mondial 3.2 as well? I believe the oil pan is deeper on that model.
    Thanks,

    For those who are tracking their cars, this is a must. If you doubt it, take your car into a parking lot and drive hard in a tight circle. After several laps, check your oil guage.

    you don't even have to look at the guage, you can just listen to the valve clatter

    Doesn't even take that. When I first bought my 308, I took a RH 270 degree freeway onramp at speed. About 3/4 of the way around, the oil pressure dropped to zero. Since then I've been very careful to not push it in long tight turns.

    I just sent a PM to add me to the list.

    The order is in to Gerry. I will post ETA after hearing from him. He indicated he would be shipping via air so they could be here early to middle of next week.

    Got word back from Gerry,

    I will wire him the money and they will be on the way and expect them to arrive next week. I fly out tomorrow to KC, MO for the rest of the week. My connection to the internet will be shakey, but I will check from time to time.

    Thanks all you guys to make this possible.

    You guys are going to love this little item. I track a good deal and without question, this was the single best investment I have ever made for my car. It worked flawlessly at TigPrix last Aug. There is one corner in particular that I had to feather the throttle over the past 10 years to keep the psi off the zero peg. I can scream thru it now with my foot planted and the oil psi doesn't even flicker. It just blows my mind how well it works.

    These baffles can also be obtained from GT Car Parts here in the states. Evidently they just got a bunch of them in recently. I picked mine up last night.
    Phone 623-780-2200

    Cant wait to put it on.

    Got mine from GT Car Parts Wednesday. Very nice piece; can't wait to install it. Wish I had done this years ago! So simple, inexpensive, and reassuring. No more drama followed by paranoia!

    Better call them; not sure of their price structure but was way less than what has been discussed in this thread...623-780-2200. They are a great source, honest and reasonable, IMHO...
