I tried to change my oil pan today; from leaky to new; and guess what? One oil pan bolt is nestled nicely behind the subframe. You can't get to it without lifting the engine. :mad: WONDERFUL. So I change my oil anyway and put on a different y-pipe so the tiny hole won't get rubbed any bigger. Man I hate this car. :bah:
 
I was under the impression that the oil pan could be removed without moving the engine/subframe? :shrug: It may take creativity on your part, but fixing things on these cars often does so that wouldnt be anything new.:rolleyes:
 
Eric, you think bout removing the passenger wheel and using a 13mm wrench on them there two bolts? Or you talking about a bolt somewheres else? That's the only ones I can think of you'd be talking about.
 
See since I'm changing the headers out for stock, I figure I'll wait and drop the bugger down enough to do all that at once. No more 35+ hour header install for me!

Too late! I called dibs!! :P

By the way Eric, send me your addy again via e-mail. I have presents for you.

The PM que thingy seems to have eliminated your PM with that info.

Actually Brad called dibs like two weeks before the dragon run. Our car is currently at Blindside customs getting an exhaust put on.
