Problem with using the fill hole is that you never get the oil capacity quite right as you can't account for the oil being taken up in the core and lines, which given the small oil capacity is an issue.
I'm probably down for a sump, given how hard I beat the car on track it is a worthwhile investment.

Yea I've thought of this after looking at others. I'd like to use the drain/ fill holes to keep it simpler. I'm sure there's a good enough solution for getting it close enough.
I've have had two situations where mine has overheated. My diff would make some awful sounds when it did. And would take a good part of the day to get it back where it needed to be. Almost like the clutch plates couldn't take it. Which I now feel there will eventually be some unusally wear happing for the extra heat. I want to faith in the OS Giken LSD. But no more than what I'm doing, no big concerns. I've had a brief conversation with Shamu about it.
All this seem to be more when I take it to the mountains on miles of tight turns.
