wow, that's pretty low. Not my cup of tea but impressive none the less. I bottom out going to my parents house if I'm not careful and I'm not lowered at all. No way I could get away with that.

How's the ride that low. It must be bone shatteringly hard.

To be honest this is my first slammed (kinda) car and I love trying new things. It's a love and hate thing. I love how the car looks but I hate harming it ( scraping here and there) the car is drive able and I use it, but I'm raising the car, changing the rims and boosting it soon.

The drive is very very stiff but I like it and you can easily get used to it

Oh and I do get stuck every weekend visiting family

Looks like we will just have to make a dry sump for you instead.

Those are VERY cool wheels you have there. Can I ask what they are, make/model/size?

EAGLE5 · 11-17-2013, 08:11 PM

It will likely bend, not crack.

Nope, I'm lost. I thought the increase in capacity comes from lowering the oem oil pan.

You missed the part where I mentioned that the pan is more square rather than tapered like the OEM pan. We have a prototype mold of our pan, and it did fit about a quart more oil. It will hopefully make more sense when we have a better pic of it once it starts coming together.

OK, got some more fabrication done today and mocked up in the car. I found out that this WILL NOT work with the OEM header, but should work with most aftermarket N/A header's and turbo manifolds. I don't know yet if we will produce one for the OEM header yet. But if there is a big enough demand, I don't see why it would be a problem. We still have to fabricate the drain plug and oil feed line bungs yet, and for those who asked it will be baffled. I will get pictures of that when its completed. But so far it's coming along nicely.

So how do you drain your oil properly if there is no slope for the oil to flow down?

Looks slanted to the right or I might be sleep deprived

We are going to taper it in the back slightly for the drain plug. This is just a rough fab to check fitment. Ill get more pics as it develops.

looks good, I wonder what the stealership would say if I got an oil change with this pan...
