Matt, where did you get your oil pan baffle? Let me know when you find someone to weld yours as I should probably get one too even though they scare me.
ebay, J's racing copy. I considered the Alloy Craft one advertised on s2ki so take a look at it too.

If you can stomach a $600+ oil pan, I would buy the spoon pan. I looked at all of them and it definitely looked like the best design. On principle alone, I am not paying $600+ for a oil pan. I bought a NBIB oil pan off ebay for $100 and a $70 baffle plate.
Ah ok, there is a vendor here selling one but it doesn't look as large as the Js https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/893...il-pan-baffle/

Spending $600 isn't going to happen, good to know you can get oil pans for $100 on ebay. I will have to this.

Also, interesting article for those thinking of installing an oil cooler: http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...l-cooling.aspx

I am glad I never had a oil temp gauge in my S2000, probably would have kept me up at night worrying high oil temps.

Good find fellas. Buffled pan will be in the future for me too. My car has an oil cooler already but not sure if it's installed in front of back of rad. I was also told about a turbo scavenging oil system, it was explained to me how it is supposed to work but it did not register very well in me. All I know is, it's supposed to be a better turbo oiling system compared to other design.

Roll bar might be installed this weekend since PTuning open house has been cancelled due to forcasted liquid drops.

I want one in mind and I hope it will not keep me up all night worrying high oil temps.

Ron, my oil cooler was behind the intercooler and in front of the radiator. I suspect yours is the same. I think Allen had the same koyo radiator that I was using as well.

So I'm looking at rpf1's and I wanna go non stag. And I wanna get 17x9 +45 all the way around. Now I have stock suspension and I don't wanna add anymore offset cuz I plan on doing brake ducting my fenders aren't rolled. if I threw 245 star spec all the way around would I have any issues?

Honestly that offset doesn't really fit. People run it, but you will get rubbing on the outside fender. I would worry more about your fender vs the ducting.

Is there a way around it with having the same rims for rotation or am I forever doomed to having different rims
