Cheers James, glad you're satisfied 
chunkielad, if you look at Jasper's pics below you can see what James had done
 
Chopped XR9R sump 1
Chopped XR9R sump 1
He also does blade sump plug mods to gain around 15mm for £25 (not nearly as much work)
cheers

Looks like nice work - hasn't it made the sump smaller overall though? Don't you have to add a bit on the side (excuse me I'm new to
this)?
When I get to this stage I think I'll give him a shout!!!

It does reduce the capacity a little yes, but if you look at the amount chopped off its probably less than 300ml so not a lot really considering the
engine holds 4L or so. As long as you fill to the same level (ie reduce the amount you put in and don't overfill) then Ive not heard of any
problems, this is exactly how Z-Cars etc used to mod the ZX9 sumps too.
