Dropped engine on cat, cat is dead. How do I fix cat?

What happened to the old pan?

Some asshole left one of these in the freeway off-ramp.



Hit dat shit. :giggle:

Rent an engine support bar from autozone, set it up, lift engine, drop subframe, swap pans.

You make it sound so easy, lol. Realizing I have to drop the sway bar as well, and the power steering pump makes one of the bolts a bitch to get to. Fucking power steering. :(

Drop engine on floor. Come back to r3v. Ask for help

beer+oilpan=7 hour job. ask me how i know lol. top off my gas tank and i'll come help walk your through it. been looking for an excuse to get out to riverside anyway.


edit: fuck, you're 24v? pain in the ass. i'm assuming you already have a new pan?

Where you at? Yeah, I got the E34 pan...

Shit, you should've gotten an S2000.

S2000 is inferior in every way. However, I have never seen an S2000 oil pan get owned like an E30's. :nice:

Anyone done one of these before? I've never had to do one. If anyone near Riverside has experience doing it and wouldn't mind helping me, let me know. I can give you tons of beer and some $ for your help. :( I have to move in 2 days so it's kind of mission critical that I get this out of the way.
