destroyed one in the MINI crossing an unfamiliar intersection. The fckn pan and gasket were 5 bills from the stealership.

Your wheels are the automotive equivalent of droopy, oversized labia, sometimes there is such a thing as too much lip.

For those wondering what goes into a proper dry sump system I've listed the components I'm using on my car below.
$2200- 4 stage pump, bracket, belt drive, belts and new crank pulley/harmonic dampner from VAC
$450- Block off plate for oil housing from VAC
$700 Dry-sump oilpan from ARE
$480- AN fittings $20x24 from summit racing
$400-800 assorted Hose for AN fittings from summit racing
$150- Oil cooler from Summit Racing
$600- 2 gallon oil sump from Peterson
$300- breathers, inline filters, bulkhead connectors ect.
so yeah around $5500 for those who are wondering what "expensive" is.
But that's only around 9 of my oilpans by the time you factor in oil/gaskets and that's with me doing all the labor.
after a half dozen oilpans on my old corrado I wish I had dry sumped my cars earlier.
