My old ones I made at work, they were free just heavy.

These ones cost me 85 quid in timber n screws  but made to measure and give me 20" extra ground clearance to mess about underneath and when fin I can use them for planters lol

Great plan  :icon_thumleft:

Although I thought you'd been recycling bits of old pallets though   ;)

Excellent, so much progress, what a fantastic looking car :great:

One thing though. I would love to do this underside to the Race car to get more downforce but can't.

We had a guy with an RX-7 with so many temperature sensors he probably knew the temperature of his ear wax!

As soon as he tested the car, the gearbox and diff were frying and like my car had to open up the transmission tunnel like my car to get air flow around these components, he even found the engine bay temps were high because air could not escape down the tunnel.

As its essentially a road car, not saying you will suffer from the above as badly but its maybe worth taking on board   
All the best Clive

Duly noted chief.

One of the reasons for pulling the floor off is to fit some strategically placed naca ducts to cool engine sump, and one for gearbox.

More for the exhaust tunnel too. I have one peering at the diff for the same reason.

The plan was to fit vents, it's just a matter of time to do it with that much on with this project.

But yeah
