In the 3rd gen FAQ thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

You'll find a reference to Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. He gives us all steep discounts on OEM Mazda parts and owns 2 FDs himself.
Malloy Mazda , Ray Crowe is the parts manager, gives great prices to RX-7 owners, quick shipping:
(888) 533-3400 , (703) 490-8170 , fax: (703) 490-3864 , hmkparts@aol.com

Most people stick with the stock oil pan. There is one larger aluminum pan from Pineapple but it sits lower than the engine subframe and has been known the get shattered from road debris with terrible consequences - blown motor from spun bearing due to oil starvation.

Highly recommend the stock oil pan with an oil pan brace from Banzai Racing or IRP both of which are here on the forum.
