    crappy roads and oilpans

    Last night my oilpan hit a manhole while i was driving down a newly opened road. I was under the impression that they fixed the road..but i guess i was wrong all they did was make it worse. How many people in here have busted their oilpans driving on crappy city roads?

      well on each side of the manhole the road dipped down so when i went over my car dipped down and in hit the drain plug and ripped a hole so it was just streaming oil onto the ground.

              Never had a problem with 4x4 status




              On an unrelated note I have an m20 oil pan lying around that's taking up space.

                            roads in the North East are like none other.

                            they are the exact reason i never went with coilovers
