How often do you knock your subframe?

2.0 sump doesn't sit as low as a 1.8t?

mine sits up higher then the subframe. dont know how that comapares to yours?
I know the US guys love the 2lt cos they go lower without engine lifts etc.

I do have a few marks on it from hitting really bad dips and rises, but normally the rest of the car takes all the force.

EDIT: just went and checked, its pretty much in with the subframe. Had it in my mind it sat higher

Hey mate, I'm not all that low, we'll not compared to some others. The above indecent took place because of an unfortunately placed kerb. lol.

I had a look and I'm guessing that it'd be bang on the 100mm rule. When I can find my tape measure I'll measure from ground to arch :)



EDIT: I found my tape measure, and get 63.5cm on each corner (18" wheels).

Before I raised the engine, the sump was the first to contact. Smacked it hard a couple of times, but once I hit it so hard it made a massive dent on the engine oil sensor. Lucky for me, cos if that wasn't there, I would have surely punched a hole through the sump. Now, I either hit the section around the dog-bone mount, or the control arm mounting points.
