[QUOTE="invisiblefrisbe, post: 11232834, member: 108091"] Background: I can't use the search function on this website for 3 letter words such as "oil" and "pan", and searching "site:svtperformance.com oil pan" or other variants provides way too many results, mostly build threads. I also flipped through the first 5 pages of this forum hope to stumble on someone else's post. So forgive me if this has been asked before...I did to some research and couldn't find the answer. I've owned my car (in sig) for just over a year (and am still learning a lot about the car) and managed to get to one auto-cross event this year...and Gateway international raceway was shut down last year...it should open again next year for some HPDE events...which I want to attend. It'll be my first time any one of these events....now on to my question. I found an AMAZING deal on a full MM suspension (K-member, control arms, coil overs, T/A, panhard, adjustable sway). So my winter project is installing all of these parts. While I'm replacing the K-member, I'm wonder if I should look at replacing the stock oil pan. This is a mostly street driven car, but I plan on taking it to a couple of auto-cross events and one or two HPDE events every year. After some reading I know the 03 motor has a larger windage tray, but no baffles in the stock oil pan. Do I need to be concerned with hurting my motor because a corner was taken too hard? I've been looking at an oil accumulator setup as well (with the added benefit as a pre-luber)...is a canton 2 quart accumulator enough to cover my butt if I take a corner hard enough to leave the pump dry?
