Question Banzai or Elite Rotary RX7 FD Oil Brace which is better?

Hello members, going to tackle the rx7 notorious oil pan leaking this weekend, a little confuse on which oil pan brace it good for the job. I found several brace but i'm interested in the Elite Rotary performance & the Banzai oil pan braces. Which should I go for? the stud kit or bolts? any suggestion guys? Thanks....

Just call your and a lady pick up the phone and said she don't take order over the phone, so I would have to go online or go to ebay and order it. Well, I guess I'm going with the elite performance kit...thanks.

Good luck with that. At least we answer the phone and ship out products when they are ordered. You might want to check out the vendor feedback section before making a very bad choice. But hey whatever.

Edit: We don't take CC over the phone, saves us a ton of chargebacks from scammers with stolen cards

Should be a lot of threads in the 3rd Gen. techical section on pans, braces, preparation and what sealant to use to properly seal them. Worth a search.

Banzai Racing has been around and successful for years, is a forum vendor and often shares his knowledge for free with helpful posts. Elite, afaik, has not, is not, and does not.

^Great job Spyroz, you have exactly 18 posts on this forum and I already (A) don't want to do business with you, and (B) don't plan to ever give you advice when your FD inevitably breaks down. Keep up the (juvenile, profane, distasteful, immature) 'good' work, dude.

No problem, PM me your real name and I will make sure that you never place an order with us. We already have your phone number on file from yesterday so that is a start.

In one thread you made four ignore lists. Already trying to sell, but at $40k, you’re likely going to have the car for a while. With the leaking oil pan I guess it’s not as ‘close to perfect’ as you thought. Not likely it’s going to be re-sealed correctly either.

Gosh, I hope a prospective buyer doesn’t search your profile.
