r3ved my car too

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

destroyed the oil pan (4th one now? I've lost count)

was driving my boss to pick up one of his cars and on the way, nailed an invisible pothole. I blame the angle of the sunlight and the way the hole was shaped.

I was going like 9mph over the railroad crossing, but there was that invisible pothole that made it inevitable.

Oh well, got the car running again three hours later.

jesus. Im still on my 1st ones on both E30s. I cant understand this.

I can't understand it either. What type of suspension do you have? Are the roads extremely shitty where you live? And how does that valence survive after 4 broken oil pans?

[golde30]

valence is loosely mounted so that impacts arent as rough prolly... hehe

i took out my oil pan once. CA has some shitty roads. plus Jon likes to ride dirty.

[MR 325]

Tiny ass tires and soft non vert suspension = kaboom!

[e30devo]

jon, we have no sympathy for you anymore. i want to see a picture though!

that sucks... i dont plan on goin any lower than i am right now. I really really want to invest in a skid plate in the near future because swapping out oil pans look like a bitch.

[browntown]

time to buy a skidplate?

I thought I blew my oil pan yesterday driving along and I all of a sudden saw a huge ass branch in the middle of the road i was like oh not a big deal. (I had been driving my sisters grand cherokee for a few days) and about a foot from it it hit me fuck my car is lowered. hit it and luckily no damage so all in all not a problem bu i was freaking out looking behind me for oil and everything. SUCKED

[Jesse30]

[Avus E30]
