The oil coats the inside of the I/C pipes and causes insulation issues - The pipes came off my car after 2K and sure enough there was a thin layer of oil coating the inside [/quote]
Chris , oil is a very very good conductor of heat !!!
As is a smear of grease on electrical components /heatsinks…
Am i missing something or isnt oil “Black and thick” anyway???
Each to there own anyway.
I would just say to people have a look at a few race car setups and see how people are doing it. Any system on any properly built car will have a return to the sump.
Well I empty mine after a couple a trackdays (unless I forget, sorry John (JSR)) and the oil is blacker than the sump but I would not say any thicker, I will say that since fitting I don’t get any residue in my inlet pipes which is surely a good thing?
After 1k miles with the catch cans I now have a clean intercooler and tubes , no oil or soot at all . They weigh hardly anything and because the ones I have are inline there’s no extra piping , there’s less .
I see Lotus sport sell and fit catch cans now.

Yeah correct they do, part number ALS3E0318F �204.84+VAT but no stock!!!
Been chatting with Shinoo of Sector111 and will be stocking many of his nice parts including his catch cans and baffled sumps etc. No prices as yet as we are still sorting shipping and prices
Special Offer> as said back up this post I ordered a set of cans from Sector 111 but the order did not go through. sector 111 conformed this via email. BUT they turned up yesterday! So if any one wants em for what I paid �230 I will stump up postage and you will have them for the weekend instead of waiting 3 weeks
With all the interest in this post I thought these would fly off the shelf. It’s only due to an online shopping cock up that I ended up with 2 sets!
Someone make me a sensible offer?
Fitted my sector 111 cans the other night.
I would say that they look well made and easy to fit.
Scrub that, they’re downright sexy.
I think Exige 77 could be persuaded. Come on Henry, show Scoob you’re wad.

For all of those that expressed an interest in this I am sorry to say that Pro Alloy have been less than helpful! Despite numerous phone calls they haven’t managed to provide a price for the catch cans - I have now given up .
As an alternative, Seriously Lotus now have the Sector 111 QWK Cans in stock.
