Oil pressure buzzer sounds when in hard right turns....



They all do.

It is oil starvation from cornering too hard.

Get a baffled oil pan.

For cheapper, the "051 103 623 restrictor" found on latter cars. It is a
plastic thing that attaches at the end of the oil pump, and it might help a
bit.

Cheers.
