Review wanted on OBX Alum. oil pan...

[Andrew]

Just came across this oil pan from OBX on Ebay today.

My friend bought a OBX header, and fitment sucked horribly, so I'm just curious if anybody has tried there oil pan out?

If so, what were your thoughts on initial fitment? was it a simple screw-on process, with no modification??
Please don't post if you havn't tried it out, or at least seen the install first hand.

Thanks
_Andrew

You typically get what you pay for in the engine world. Do you want to be the one who spent good money on a crappy oil pan?

not the BEST prices, but you can see what good, well built oil pans go for.

OBX is junk. As mentioned above, you get what you pay for.

you can get a nice pan for like 280 on summit racing i think just look on their site.

I wouldn't get it, simply because when you swap oil pans among d-series, you have to use corresponding oil pickups(ie: A6 vs Z6).

That's not that big of a deal... you can find D series parts for pretty cheap.

Definitely do NOT buy an OBX pan though.

I did a review on this:

Buyers Guide/Product Review: Oil pans Civic: Moroso Vs. OBX

But in any case they both actually have fitment problems and I did have to modify my moroso to get it to fit properly.
