    • I need to snap a pic but my buddy just cracked the oil pan on his Civic Si and hes only on tein springs I was shocked to hear he cracked it as the car isnt that low.. But sure enough it is good and cracked. I think he may have seized the motor as well Man oh man how I love my skid plate..

      • How about a transmission oil pan? I've cracked it so many times the JB Weld wouldn't work so after this time I pulled it off and had it welded. Gotta watch out for the bridge to road dips!

        My oil pan has never been touched its behind the sub-frame…which gets a beating.

            it shouldn't, slam your shit. drive smart, if your roads are that shitty run a larger profile tire and leave the dope wheels in the grange for shows, and get a skid plate, and carry a extra oil pan, tools to change it, jack and extra oil. and get a oil pressure gauge. that way when you smash your pan or bend it enough to block the pickup you know.
            doing it for the internet and the scene kids.

            • Ended up not breaking the pan but mushrooming it up and breaking the cast aluminum oil sump.

              (I'll post up pictures of the pan and the sump later tonight.)

                  While I have the tools to change a pan all the time anyway (when you DD a 24 year old car tools are a must!) everything else sounds like too much for a DD lowered car. But I guess if you don't carry kids around all the time it's no biggie! In other news, I smacked the hell outta my pan not long ago because I went 45 through a hood (yeah, I know) and didn't see the DIP sign, and the whole front end took a dive into a dip in the road. It just scuffed up my front subframe and oil pan. Had my pan been the original aluminum type it would have been done. I love my steel pan!

                  • Cracked my E30s pan through my skidplate a couple of weeks ago. I have a better skidplate now.

                          • No oil pans yet, but everything under the Aristo is scraped. If I ever find a jack strong enough to lift it up I'll snap some pics,
