Absolutely awesome man. It looks like you are giving the car (not including the motor) somewhat of a mild restoration. It's always refreshing to see someone actually not run away when hearing the words "S14" and "engine work."

If you plan on autox-ing, tracking or even driving aggressively on the street that baffle is not going to cut it, period.
This is a proper baffle.

As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

This is a proper baffle.
You only go to the nasty motorsport style oil pan if you are a) a baller with crazy cash to spend or b) are running a legit 300+ hp and NO ONE on this site is doing that with the exception of my buddy with the turbo s14 (who has the bad-ass pan).
EDIT: that baffle is great, but I guess my point is thats overkill for his application. it must have been the Glen talking.PNW Crew

You keep doing that. Having been in a E30M3 with a TMS baffle when it spun a bearing during an autox I maintain my opinion.

Ask Mariano, who spun a bearing on the street if its overkill. Only 160$. MUUUUUUCCCCHHH cheaper than a rebuild as Im sure you know. I bolted mine in instead of welding, havent run the engine yet so I dont know if its leakfree this way.
