Looks good, can't wait for the FD oil pan with the low oil sensor port still installed.

Just wanna add that most of the FD guys would rather have a low oil sensor then the trap door. That sensor saved our engine countless times.

Yes the FD oil pans have the provision to use the low oil level sensor( optional block off plate will be included for those who want to use the trap door system instead( and no low oil level sensor).

Any updates on the FD oil pans? I know R&D is a long process but any update is helpful.

not as if the FC ever needed a cast aluminum pan, they don't really suffer constant oil leaking issues like the FD and their horrible engine mount system.

^ Exactly, that's why I'm surprised the FC version came out first.
