hahahahaha well said Dunc....i tore the exhaust of the gem....well first i hit the one through suttons then really hit the one at the dog leg......
but i go faster without hitting it....it unsettles the car too much!

Yep I know the feeling, evo 7 up have a stupidly low front brace. I have to aim and fire accurately over the dog leg. I was told my brace was a necessity by "experts". Dont run it any more and with good results.
With regards to the undertray, does anyone have a good suggestion for cheap, light and strong material and where to get it?

Doesn't every one? :hide:
Well its missing transmission tunnel and aft of the rear wheels but the majority of the underside of an A4 is covered

Put one on my mr2 and made a 15kph + diffrence through turn one at eastern creek and super steady down the straight i know it sounds silly but very true. Will add pic's soon. p.s Jason they made undertrays for the evo's ask ralliart or i used hygrade laser at Conndell park for my mr2
I thought they were illegal on street rego'd cars. I have been wrong before though

i think some sort of ABS.
my dad works in the plastic industry, and he said there is stuff that will cope with exhaust heat pretty well but its expensive

A lot of things are... but if it was easily added for a track day and worth the expense I am sure people would consider it... a potenital 15kph is not t be laughed at...

Deffinate improvement at speeds above 150kph. I dont have a performace box to see what the changes are a slower speeds but it does give the car a more sure footed feel.
