Default Official oil pan ground clearance & Axle angle PICTURE Thread!

I started this thread on K20a.org Has turned out to be a pretty interesting thread with a few responses. I'm curious to how the B series axles / oil pan clearance compares to the K series.

I'd like to see 4 things in this thread:

1) Oil Pan ground clearance picture(s), and which specific oil pan you are using

2) Axle angle from tranny to hub pictures

3) Picture(s) w/ decription showing drop from fender above top of tire to ground

4) Chasis, motor swap, motor mounts used, and wheel size (suspension / axles optional info)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car: 1995 VX

Engine: 2003 K20A2

Engine Mounts: Hasport EGK1

Oil Pan: Stock K20a2

Axles: 2003 Type S

Suspension: Ground Control coilovers (raised all the way up) / Koni Yellow shocks

Distance from top of fender to ground: 23 3/8"

Tires: Falken Azenis 205/50/15

Wheels: Konig Heliums

Passenger side axle angle:



Driver side axle angle:



Oil pan clearance to ground (3.75"):



Suspension drop pic:



Story behind this thread:

A guy at the Nopi Nationals approached me asking how my axles were surviving with such an angle from the tranny to hubs. He stated the axles were seeing a huge incline from the tranny to the hubs. Well I forgot to look at them because I was just having too much fun at the show Weeks went by and while working on the hatch I noticed my oil pan was pretty close to planet earth. So, I decided to raise the Ground Controls approximately 1" all around. This brought the car up to a 1 finger gap between the fender and top of the tire at all four corners. I went back to raise the car up only to find out the GC's were a couple turns away form being all the way up. So, now the height is set as high as possible.....

So post up those pics and specs
