I noticed oil drops on my driveway...Put it up on a lift to check it out...my frikkin oil pan has a hairline crack, probably from the last pothole in the street that didn't seem so deadly when I saw it... Now I gotta order another oil pan... Dag.... I have some aluminum adhesive stuff covering the area, it should keep it drip free for now...it's wasn't dripping a lot...just a drop every so often..My oil was still full...but now no more drops, and I'll order the pan tomorrow..Oh well..

D**n, dont' say that Ed now I gotta run outside and check mine cause I hit a monster one the other day.

 

I was afraid sometime like that was going to happen.... I'm working on install some industrial strength rubber mats under my car... I'll let you guys know in a week or two.

 

If this is the rubber stuff that you spray on to 'coat' the exterior (like the grip on your hammer) Don't do it. A friend has done it and basically the underside was too hot for the rubber to adhere at all. There was goo dripping in the garage for months. It is extremely difficult to remove from the garage floor, (imagine harden tar that is rubberised).
I think if the pan is going to crack over a pothole, it's gonna crack with or without the rubber mats. My $0.02.

 

Damn Ed, why you got it so low in the first place?

 

My car's not that low...I have Comptech Springs...
FYI, the Oil Pan is going to cost, $110..not as bad as I thought..

i think the install is a real pain in the a$$ for the oil pan

 

what's up with this....aren't you going to tell us?

The car's in my driveway...the back is higher up, there's an incline that my front wheels didn't roll up on yet, so it makes the front look lower...I'll take pics of my driveway to explain what I mean..

Upgrade to the Type-S Oil Pan!!!

 

I have comptech springs, no spoiler, and I still scrap the lip of my front end when going in and out parking garages unless I am anal about out it. I am about ready to give up because in Houston traffic, sometimes you gotta move fast to get onto the street or you'll sit forever.

 

As much as I would wanna raise the car, I'm spoiled.. I love the look.. I won't raise it back, i'll just have to be more careful..

thats why to have a nice ride in NYC sucks. i am keeping my car with the STOCK SUSPENTION.. AND RIMS!!! cant afford those pot holes........

 

I had problems like that with my other car....it sucks. I will never lower my car again unless its for racing use only.

 

I was seriously thinking about getting the springs, but now I'm having second thoughts. NYC pothole are the worst.
