Moroso Oil Pan

Ok where can I get more info on dry sump and dowelling? I was researching a bit more and came across the pineapple racing pan for the FC. I'm thinking this might be what would work best... Let's not forget that this is a street car...

Appearently the pineapple ones crack real easy, i have heard horror stories of people knicking stuff in the street and losing all there oil and killing there engine before they knew anything was wrong. But i was also told that they stick past your frame, which pineapple states they do not, so whether or not theres any truth behind the stories is not worth testing to me, i was considering one at one point, but if your car is stock and you dont auto-x or anything theres really not much point.

Crack easy: well it is cast aluminum......but if you ran over something thats going to break the FC pan where it sits - you're going to tear through your radiator/oil cooler and subframe first.................so really - its a non issue.

Stick under the car: No. Not the FC pan.

I love mine. I just wish they'd make some REAL FUCKING DRAIN PLUGS for it instead of the retarded allen key pieces of shit they sell with it. I had to tack some nuts on them after the teency weency little allen key piece stripped (2-3 oilchanges)

Its not a really "necessary" mod though. Yes, my car holds quite a bit of oil now. Yes, the pan hasa windage tray and a very well designed baffle system - but those can be added to a stock pan with $5 worth of sheet metal. Its mostly a bling piece.....
