i've installed a few for a few locals. Not really worth it. There's a bit of fitting to make em fit right if they do indeed fit right. The aluminum consistantly feels powdery and if you spray brake cleaner on it, it'll come off like silver paint on your fingers. I'd say if you're on a real tight budget and willing to make it fit, do it. Otherwise I'd look for a better one like a real deal Greddy or the one made by Fueled that looks similar to the Greddy but is made of sheet metal, not cast. Unless you can pony up for the Tomei, but since you're asking about the ebay pan, I'm suspecting the Tomei's not really reasonable.

where do i find this fueled oil pan u speak off?

Either in my engine bay (btw, it has some issues with the large plug for the oil temp sensor, I'd recommend putting some silicone sealant there before putting oil in) or

Dunno if they've still got any. I think I got the last of their first batch. Hopefully they took care of the different metals used for the oil temp sensor plug I speak of above. Otherwise pretty good.

I have the ebay pan. It works fine. Mine lost some of the hardware in transit (wasnt packed very well) or maybe they just forgot to send it all. Other than that the only thing was one the holes for the swinging door baffles screws wasnt drilled out, I did it myself. Been using for at least 6-9K miles...its fine.

All in all though, if I had known, Id prolly save myself some effort and just get the greddy pan.

I had 2 fake greddy oil pans so far.

One was from a friend. He gave it to me for free. It was leaking through the casting so I JB welded as best as I could but it is still leaking.

So I went on ebay and bought another fake greddy pan. Same thing. Not only did the mounting holes on the flapper did not line up with the holes on the oil pan... it also leaked through the casting. Quite a bit actually.

So I finally got a greddy oil pan. Casting is much better quality. You can immediately tell the difference between the two. The mounting holes on the flapper had to be drilled out bigger to line up... that sucked (I did not expect that with Greddy) but at least casting it self is super quality.

sucks don't get one. bad fitment, baffles don't work or even bolt in and the casting is crap. don't waste your money
