It's funny -- because my Lotus 2 Eleven came with the accusump... and I have one in the Mustang (manual valve). Everyone on the Lotus forums talks about taking them off because the "leak" or they have some other BS issue with them or because they add weight.....
On PT forums - we're just now "discovering" them. This and dry $ump$.....
So I de-bodied the Lotus on Friday because I want to do some minor things on it... and my buddy that also owns one - came to the shop on Saturday so I could show him how easy this was to do.... (his is brand new). And we discussed the Accusump. He is thinking he'll take his off and toss it as an unnecessary part since he's going to upgrade from the stock pan and go with the baffled version I have.... But I said I use mine as a pre-oiler in both cars because they sit so long between running them etc.
Personally -- I think they're good insurance... and that if a guy is going to seriously TRACK his car - they're cheap and easy to add and just might save you an expensive rebuild.
