Good buy - I'm also likely to get one before my next track day...cheap insurance and need to do an oil change anyway.

I do use caution when going over speed bumps and such.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I said I wouldn't track my car without an oil sump upgrade....and one came up for sale on the parts marketplace yesterday, I scooped it up. Too funny, because when I searched "FVD" on the forum about a month ago to see if I could find one for sale this one came up:
https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...t-oil-pan.html
Well, the guy that bought it, never installed it and put it up for sale yesterday, so I bought it from him.
I think I will sleep better at night......well, maybe not.
I like this one because it doesn't have a spacer in it, just one big block of aluminum machined.
That's awesome. I love mine. Tip, use the old fasteners from the old pan. I tried new ones from FVD but they strip super easy. The stock ones hold tight. The bottom bolts on the pan I mean.
I marveled at this when I bought one a few years back. Quite the work of machining art. You might want to pick up a skid plate to help protect it. It's only money
Good buy - I'm also likely to get one before my next track day...cheap insurance and need to do an oil change anyway.
Forgive the very basic question and, but with the FVD type kit, don't you need an extended pick up tube as well?
(Insert jokes in responses as the question is a layup for most of you).

It appears in the first picture that it has a spacer between the oil pick up mounting point and oil pick up tube that would extended it down.

10-4. Should have looked more closely. Thanks! Interested to hear how the install and test drive goes.
I have the ROW M030 suspension which sets the car fairly low. I have had no clearance issues including a few off track excursions into the sand and gravel traps. I do use caution when going over speed bumps and such.
Like gator I had a lowered car as well. Mine with the X74. Lowered it by 1.75". You just need to watch the road and where your car is pointed. I also had a skid plate.
