What did you do to your mk7 today?

the ARM pan looks like overpriced garbage to me.

sure, the OE pan doesn't have any baffling. but where the fuck is the baffling on the ARM pan? lol. there's nothing here to "ensure the oil pickup remains submerged" compared to the OE pan. for that price you really should just buy the iAbed pan.

ARM is a trash company, literally just Chinese e commerce clones of other companies parts.

I’m surprised it’s not $150, Zhong Zhong is eating lobster when those sell for $600 lol

Allegedly it's the angles on the interior of the pan that allow it to stay submerged. I'm willing to try it though, paid for it with a random assortment of parts I had in my garage lol if the motor starves and goes knock knock, then it gets pulled and built.

Belly pan was cheaper and easier for me.

Only pan I considered was alltrack that connects to the frame, but with my FMIC, no bueno

Yeah that’s the one I rock, and no front mount here.

Flashed my first custom DIY tune today. Not big adjustments or big power yet, but making progress and learning a ridiculous amount of new stuff.

holy crap that's an expensive oil pan! Looks pretty though.....regardless, happy with my plain old steel pan lol

Why not an Aluminum Street Shield Skid Plate Kit? The entire engine and transmission are covered

Last week I installed a Cobb cat back exhaust. Nice sound, boomy, but a bit loud for my taste. For sale half price in the classified section.

Some smoke on startup. Oil pooling at the bottom of TIP. Compression test was good. Haven't done leak down yet so I replaced PCV. Figure I'll know in a few days if this was the fix.

Got my V4 Clubsports installed, and my reupholstered door cards! Still missing an engine but I'll take some progress!

Because look where it connects…. Not even to the frame up front…just the plastic bumper

Yeah, the ECS also connects to the chassis, but as the Alltrack it won't work with the FMIC. Maybe when I install my twin I will see if there is something that could be done. I've been considering the ECS shield.

I have customers running ECS street shield with my FMIC, it just barely rubs the drivers side charge pipe, but as mentioned no room for their optional frame brackets.

My neighbor has a CNC plasma & a pile of aluminum we’re planning to explore options with.

I’m thinking a chassis mounted flat bottom splitter/skid plate, but also don’t know how I feel about running a splitter on a daily.

Yep! If I were to upgrade my oil pan, still rocking the stock one, it would be the iABED pan.
