More fabrication...

[turbo2point2]

Been waiting for the machine work to be finished on the BSX, so I decided to build an oil pan. I always wanted something better that what the factory gave us. Something with better baffling, trap doors and aluminum.

Still need to add the drain, and some other fittings. Enjoy!

Looks awesome!:nod:

[Captain Chaos]

WOW! Thats nicer than our Cuda's drag car pan!

[contraption22]

Cool sh1t happens when you get bored, Brian. Nice work!

[turbovanman²]

Damn dude, serious skillz, :hail::hail::hail:

[mcsvt]

Brian, if I left my Sundance out side your shop and you got bored, would you assemble it for me? ;)

Looks great man!! :thumb:

[turbo2point2]

Thanks for the compiments all.

Gary, no problem, drop it off. But be forewarned, I have been thinking a lot lately of RWD:eyebrows:

[Warren Stramer]

there you go raising the bar again, VERY NICE!!!!!!! Its kinda fun when it turns out that nice, but still alot of time and work.

Ive been thinking about RWD for about the last 15 years,......... then I remember the work and expense

["Top Fuel" Bender]

:hail: very nice, ashame to make it a wet sump with all that work, too bad the pump is so expensive and the oil tank/seperator take up so much room

[rbryant]

Very nice.

How much work was it to get the odd shaped end seal surfaces the right shapes so that they will seal? Man that looks like it must have been tricky...

Thanks Warren! It is a very fun project, and I am happy with how it's turning out.

Thanks Bruce! I was thinking the same thing during fabrication. [sigh] Someday I'll have a dry sump[sigh];)


Very nice.

-Rich

The end seals were pretty easy. I grabbed some aluminum bar and went at it. The rear was a bit trickier than the front because of the shape, but I had both end pieces made in about 15 minutes.

How did you keep the flanges flat? lots and lots of clamps or did you build a jig?

I would be scared of punching a hole in an alu sump, lovely work.

[Pat]

Excellent work, Brian.

[Captain Chaos]

So where does the line form to have one of these?

[BadAssPerformance]

Nice work as always Brian :thumb:

Bored? ... need you to use up that boredom on my check list for a while, LOL! ;)

[1FastCSX289]

I made one of those yesterday.....in my sleep. :p

J/K.....that thing is awesome!!! You have a real talent there my man!! :hail:

I bolted it to a block:thumb: Since this is track only, I shouldn't have to worry about any holes...hopefully;)


Excellent work, Brian.

[shelbymonster]

wow , i now want an tig welder so bad :) great job !

[turboshad]

I love it. Great work Brian. Warren's right about you and that dang bar but I'm glad there are people around like you guys to keep pushing me with my own skills. One day......one day. I really need to get away from this desk and into something that will let me practice more. :hail:

[rx2mazda]

That's for the GLH-R/T right? :eyebrows::thumb:

[92spiritrt]

That's for the GLH-R/T right? :eyebrows::thumb:

no, its for my car.

Thanks DJ. I feel the same about many folks that do nice work. Keeps me wanting to produce nicer parts:amen:


That's for the GLH-R/T right? :eyebrows::thumb:

The GLH-R/T can get pan #2

no, its for my car.

Your car gets pan #3 ;)

[92spiritrt]

i can handle that. i'm in no hurry:thumb:

[turbo2point2]

Got some more work done to the pan. Pics:

Still have some minor details to cover but it's gettin there:thumb:

[Reeves]

VERY nice Brian!

Costly for oil changes ;)

[92spiritrt]

that thing looks amazing. is it still using the stock pickup?

Now like the game Operation, will it buzz and vibrate when installing the pan if you bump the oil pump pickup?;)

Thanks James! Not too bad for oil changes;)

Thanks Rob! Stock pickup is still being used.

(Yawn) total garbage Brian. I mean, seriously...this is supposed to wow us? The quality on that unit is about as good as those sh!tty decals self promoting your name all over the car (sigh).

Big, big disappointment. And the way everyone on here is complimenting you, esp. jerks like that Special Marra "I use NOS.....Yayyyyyyy" guy, and that "I make things by melting metal with my torch" Bender dude, it only inflates your overblown ego worse than it already is. What's next, that Pat "flames on the hood cause I'm just that cool" Culkin guy going to worship your handiwork by dropping to his....oh wait, yep, he chimed in too. Ah, Christ. Total disgrace.














Ok now that the sarcasm mode is off (and those that got the joke enjoyed my sense of humor...) W:eek:W!! Very very impressive work! What did you use to cut the flat portions...the cuts look that of CNC quality, not by hand.

(and if it is by hand, you just blew me away...this coming from a guy who spent his early career pre-CNC). I'll say this...your welding cleanliness alone shows how incredible you are at your craft. Very very very nice! Absolutely amazing and entertaining watching your fab skills progress through the last decade.

BTW, lemme know if you still wanna do anything with respect to the front air intake and a certain idea we discussed of stuff getting sucked in.... ;)

Lol Dave! The rails were made by hand, if you see it up close you will instantly know it was not cnc'd. Thanks for the nice words! I'll let you know about the front ideas:thumb:


My new sig line!

LMFAO! Too funny!

Lol Dave! Thanks for the nice words! I'll let you know about the front ideas:thumb:

I don't think a huge decal of Dave sucking in the air in front of your car is going to make any faster :p
