Quote:On that subject, you can clearly see the oil pickup and oil return where the ring and pinion meet on the N2 car.

Cant say I like the way that the protrusion looks, maybe it is done this way due to clearance issues. My guess is that it acts like an oilpan so the pickup always has enough oil to keep the gears lubricated. The website mentions a 400cc increase in oil capacity.
Couldnt really see how the oil is routed outside of the axle.

This was somthing I was going to do to my N2. He has winged the casing so it can carry more oil, much like you would do with a normal sump pan.

The two lines running into the casing will be for the inclusion of a stand alone diff oil cooler. You would require a small electric pump to suck oil out, pass it through the cooler and then feed it back into the casing under pressure. This should drastically improve the lubrication as well.

I have been toying with making my own cheap diff cooler kit - but havent got around to it yet. Only requires basic components.
