Engine Undertray - is it required ?

[C J R]

Atomic Rex, how much for your tray ? - so I can decide whether to start to cut up the aluminium sheet I have to make a tray.
 
And did you ever sort out a replacement for your quick shifter ? You were going to advise whether your old one would be available to buy.
 
Thanks

oh and i cut an access pannel out about 3" diam to access the oil drain as i change oil about every 2 months.

That sounds very cool! Not too sure on the FD but does the sump aid in cooling the oil as well?

The reason I ask is that on my old Lotus the undertrays had a couple of naca ducts into it, one pointing to the bottom of the sump and the other to the exhaust manifold. But with both oil coolers up front I don\'t know if it\'s just over kill?

Well i was thinking about pressing some vents in to it where the sump was but i have a oil temp gauge on the sump plug itself and have driven the car 3 times since and the temps have droped a little if anything.

That sounds interesting. Would you have a template or a sketch to show where and how you mounted it.
 
Thanks

Looks a good job there matey :Thumbs-up

what are the rough sizes you used for the ally undertray? Sorry for hijack but this seems a really good idea, especially as the little sods near where i live leave half bricks in the road so i cannot spot them in traffic and they get stuck under my car. This would add a bit more protection. Thanks

I have a shineautoprojects one in carbon...I had it fitted inside the front bumper just in case something got between the two and ripped it off.
