You can see where i ran over the rumple strips in the second or third run on the vid and put the massive dent in the oil pan

What mount kit do you have? How far below the crossmember does your oil pan hang?

Yea unfourtunatly i dont have an ebrake (even if i did i wouldnt know what to do with it) i mostly use weight transfer and power lol, so anyway that last turn is a very gradual turn from the inside straight, the only way i could ever link it was coming in fast, most of the day my entry speed on that turn was 95+ mph get it side ways and just ride it off throttle to scrub speed for the next turn..

And yes the oil pan used to sit about 1 inch below the x-member, now its about flush lol, i was losing oil pressure most of the day about 10 -15 psi off the normal 80 psi the motor runs. I was using the mazworx mounts, but my mounts used to sit even lower.

In this video first to last Ryan kaufmann ls1 rx7, bert abelos s2000 pwrd ae86 , me , chris jackson 2j s13

And yes i did say damage photos, during one of those 95+mph entrys the tire decided to explode while i was sideways, resulting in a good show for the spectators and this little present for me, time for more bodywork.......

Sounds like an expensive Sunday to me. Fun, but expensive.

well the motor is fine, im debating whether just to weld studss on the oil pan and use a slide hammer to fix the dents or cut the oil pan off raise it up a bit and weld it back on while its still in the car lol

Lol,You only ever do that once. Then you realise why people spend the time tubbing the rear arches to save yourself a fortune in 1/4 panels
