Stu - how have you got your sump set up (standard or cut down) and how much ground clearance do you have ?

I chopped my blacktop sump to give about 75mm of clearance. I've driven it quite a bit & over loads of speed bumps with no grounding
problems.

With new tiger ERA sump the ground clearance is now 135mm with the bellhouse being the lowest point at 110mm.
The 1800 sump i used previous didnt cause any problems with regular speed humps, i had to be a bit carefull with the humps that are placed in the
centre of the road though.
As you can see from earlier picture the new sump does make a lot of difference and makes other objects often found on the road less
worrying.
