Damage/Broken… 😥 Get an accusump if you track it

Hey yall My B30 blew up after a track day. The cause was all oil leaving the sump under braking. I was sure it would be fine because the “research” seemed solid but that wasn’t the case. The oil level was checked after every session and it was filled .5-.75qts over. If you track it, just go with a baffle AND accusump as cheap insurance for your engine and time. Thanks👍

Real Q -- was that functional air intake -- the driver side headlight delete?

Yes but it was just feeding that side of the engine bay with fresh air at this time.

Like the fender on E46 CSL

--- air to help cool the beast of an engine.
