baffles
 
ok im curious do we have baffles or not stock? If we dont does anyone know anywhere to get one? What makes me ask this is when im playin around with my car slaloming or takeing corners hard it semi cuts off on me my conclusion would be that the oil is gettin sloshed around and not getting sent into the engine so if any one can help let me know thanx

Mazdatrix has oil pan baffles.

But that wouldn't have anything to do with the car cutting off during hard cornering, the baffles are to prevent oil starvation during cornering.

The engine cutting out under hard cornering is more likely a fuel issue.

All FC's do not come with a baffled oil pan.

Arent baffels meant to prevent the oil from becomming bubbly and hard to pick up.?
I thought about welding small pieces of sheetmetal into the pan to keep the oil more steady, is that a good idea or not?

No I was thinking of just welding small "L" shaped pieces of sheet metal to the bottom of the pan, you know to slow down the oil as it slushes around inthere.

But when I think of it, it would probably have the same effect as putting a mixer inthere :D
