"Like any motorsport, drifting continues to evolve. While some drift cars are purpose-built from day one, others, like the sport they champion, progress through trial and error, broken parts, and stubborn determination. Officially billed as a Formula Drift PRO Toyota 86, this Scion FR-S is a poster child for the growth of both driver and machine. What started as an ordinary, 100K-mile Florida commuter has transformed into a full-spec, 800 horsepower pavement scorcher that’s powered by 440 cubic inches of Dart LS. More importantly, though, the car tells the story of how persistence and constant development can slowly turn a grassroots effort into a professional-level contender."

The Toyota JZ platform is easily one of the most popular engine swaps for all types of racing. Its design, power potential, and strength have made it legendary, and now you can purchase race versions of them from Dart Machinery.
But when it comes to oil pan options, you’re limited to the factory cast upper, and either using a stamped lower with an aftermarket baffle, or some type of billet option.
In some cases, that’s not enough. Specifically for a chassis that needs a rear sump. The mid/rear sump pans from the MK4 Supra and SC300 chassis are an option, but because of how close the mid sump gets to a lot of crossmembers, it requires modification of your subframe. Not only that, they can hang a little lower, which can be a problem.
We’re very excited to bring our new 20948 full rear sump race pan to market.
This idea came from speaking with drivers who needed a rear sump pan that puts the sump as far back as possible so it fits better in the car. Think Nissan S-Chassis with a front steer
"First, let’s understand the limitations of a factory wet sump oil system in motorsports. In this design, a deep oil pan contains the vehicle’s surplus oil. A single oil pump and pickup is typically located at its deepest point to suction the oil. The system is cost-effective for high-volume production cars and daily driving. It also has its shortfalls when it comes to motorsports."
