ARC oil pan, good or not!?? how good?

[C-unit]

I just bought a ARC oil pan. however, It looks like it has the same design as a greddy one. I've read that it is a nice unit compare to Tomei and Greddy. But when i look at the pan, there are no buffer plate like the Tomei one. Anyone has any input???

[burnsauto]

Did you buy it new?

[C-unit]

yes, i bought it new from japan.

[burnsauto]

Well, ARC knows what they're doing, I'd trust it.

+50 for arc product.
quality built parts

Actually man its a great pan...The thing with cast pans is that they sweat
"leak" through the pores. Just get the pan powder coated ! best thing you can do.

[azndoc]

It's ARC.

Shit is legit.

Their like the fucking Versace of car parts.

ARC makes some of the best products I have seen, as far as welds and being light weight. If you have ever picked up one of their intercoolers and compared it to other manufacturers you can see and feel the difference. The oil pan should be no different.

I'd take a Greddy pan over the ARC pan any day of the week. ARC pan is a big waste of money. As for the guy that says aluminum cast pans leak through the pores, you are wrong. The only ones that do that are the Chinese Freddy pans.

Exactly, the Greddy pan is a very dependable product and is probably the best selling aftermarket pan, not because it's cheaper than the ARC pan, but it has the better design. Why get the Porsche when you can get the GTR for cheaper?

how much did you pay, just looking at some of their products and msrp, wowee

[wangan_cruiser]

d1 drivers or any other racers wont use greddy if its bad quality. its been proven.

I think HKS is better

[slider2828]

ARC makes total shit intake chambers though.... Makes the car really loud, but loses HP....

[burnsauto]

I think HKS is better

any pics? I've never seen one? ...or i just can't remember seeing one.

I paid around $380 for it after shipping.
Thanks for all the comments, I'll probably sell it and get a Tomei pans now, anyone wants the ARC pan?? $380shipped!

[Jordn]

I've got the ARC sump, pretty damn well made from what I can see. Does the job.

D1 drivers don't use Greddy because its the best, they use Greddy because Greddy pay them cash to use them or give them free.

No HKS in general for parts is better.

For oil pan (even though I own a Greddy) I like Tomei better

Everything that greddy makes that is threaded besides their intake mani seems easily stripped or breakable

[FusionR240sx]

greddy.
i got one.
arc is a waste of money.

[jsasrsr]

arc makes some high high high quality shit but at a steep price... from what i learned in life and especially with car parts.... you get what you pay for....

you've got yourself a good oil pan there, so keep it..

[Works Concepts]

Greddy, Tomei, ARC, all make good oil pans. Its all a matter of preference. It sounds like you got it at a good price, I would just keep it.
