We tested the Reimax 12mm gear and not the 14mm Reimax gear. Remember though we tested the 14mm WRX DIT oil pump. It probably would have been better if Reimax copied the BRZ pump rotor design but I...

Been a long time guys since I've been on any forums but I'll revisit some results.

We install a lift pump in place of the siphon tube in the passenger side tank which helps a ton. Eventually even that wouldn't cure it but our car pulls 2G so it may work for most people.

Glad you welded that lower mount as the body is too weak to bolt there. We actually made a weld down plate with backing nuts so you could still bolt in and remove the cage. It might be a better...

If you pull the fuse you'll have an impossible time turning the car just like when the system shuts down. You either reduce your caster as I'm assuming you've added some or you build a cooler. I...

How bad is it? I found too much caster make it horrible and the power steering turns on and off. I still get it every now and then without additional caster but it's not all the time.

Thanks! Our motor build gets the oil pressure up but I'm sure the Accumulator kit has helped with cornering Gs as we've seen over 2G with our Time Attack FRS. It's cheap insurance for sure!!!
