My car is lowered on GC coils/non shortened Koni Sports, and my oil pan sits about 1.5-2 inches off the ground. I have a skid plate but even with that this past weekend I cracked the oil pan. After I patched it up with JB weld, I looked for some solutions to fix this oil pan clearance issue. I came up with: raising motor, engine swap to M30/M50/SXX, or shortening the oil pan.
I have heard of some racers shortening the oil pan, or shortening it and fattening it so that it holds the same volume. Have you guys ever heard of this? Or know any place/person I can contact to have my oil pan shortened?
While the car was on the lift, I noticed a good 2-2.5 inches that can be taken off and widened.
Thanks,
Hootie
