If the pan is a bust, which I tend to doubt, it will not be be on his head as far as I am concerned.
I was pretty happy that Josserman was able to test and log pressures. Makes me feel better that we won't detect some major design failure.
I'm always wary of beta testing new products because stuff usually pops up. But I feel better that it's being designed by a company that has made these types of things before.
Jeff tells me he's getting the track bug again and is thinking about buying a S2000. So, if you see him pop up on this forum, lets all help him out, as we usually do for all owners. And, if any of you guys ever travel near Canton in North Branford, CT, please drop by and say thanks to him. If it's at the end of the day, offer to buy him a beer!!
I'm looking forward to hearing about everybody's install. And I'd like to hear from a few more people about how much oil it took to fill it.
My biggest hope is that this pan saves someone from losing an engine to oil starvation. I just wish is was available two engines and about $8000 ago!!

Does it hang lower than stock?

dly--without the windage tray, there's nothing keeping oil in the front of the pan from sloshing up onto the crank. I'm worried this is going to lead to some frothing after lots of hard braking. Any reason why I can't just extend the canton baffle plate foward to protect the crank?
Edit://unfounded criticisms aside-- thanks canton and David for getting this done!

Only leak I have had so far is from the drain plug. I just loosened it and re-tightened tonight so we will see if that stopped the leak. Copper crush washers are usually phenomenal for sealing...

I live an hour away from Canton, and since I was just finishing my build as the pan was being finalized it made sense to use my car as the test car for the pan.
So it's been at least 2 months and 4 track days that I've had the pan on my car, and no issues at all. I regularly log oil pressure and there have not been any bidg unsafe drops, albeit I haven't hit a track with a super aggressive sweeping turn yet. Very happy with pan, and having met the guys at Canton, even more comfortable with their expertise and support!

I guess I'm not sure how the rubber stop will cause vibration as it's purpose is for keeping the motor from moving too far forward under braking. There should be space between the stock oil pan and that stopper. I have Innovative motor and transmission mounts, so that stop isn't even doing anything for me.

That rubber stop should not normally make contact with the engine.
