My E30's oil pan is 3 inches above the ground, but I fabricated a chromemoly tubing/sheetmetal guard so it won't get damaged. Too bad you didn't.

This post reminds me of yesterday driving behind a lowered EK four door civic. We were going through a commercial neighborhood with a few dips. this guy literally came to a complete stop and took about 10 seconds to get over EVERY SINGLE POTHOLE AND SPEED BUMP. I mean I can see having your car lowered a bit but damn there's a point where it not only becomes ridiculous but i'd imagine extremely inconvenient also. I mean what's the advantage to having your car so low that a manhole sticking up an inch or 2 from the ground destroys your oil pan?

Thats the only way to get a dope stance!


-I do agree that dumped cars look tight, but for a DD I would hate to deal with that shit every day. Used to have a lowered EG hatch that would scrape on the driveway, speedbumps, etc and it just got fucking annoying after a while.

DOuble comment...
1. back roads, they're crap and you should look ahead while driving.
2. even if you reported it, by the time you get compensated your grandkids would have
already wrecked the car.
