Whew, took grants suggestion and spun the mounts around. You were right, much thanks for pointing that out.
Anyway dropped the seat down a couple inches and now im a ok for room, and I wanted to drill a couple holes in these mounts I could drop it down further. Heres a few photos to give a comparison from before, also one to show head room with a moto helmet on. |

I know you got it for cheap. But what is the plan? Recce car, rally car (still want your golf?!), winter beater? I'll post up some pictures of the IPD skid plate for ya. It's $140 new, and they can be reinforced if you wanted a more robust/rally style skidplate. I just got the old turbo Volvo out on the streets. Boost is so much fun in that car!

What a horrible design.. "skid" plates are supposed to help protect the sump/erl pan by having nice angle to help slide over stuff, like rocks... that horrible thing presents a nice face to BASH RIGHT INTO things... Brilliant! (ever seen anything like that on a real rally car?) Din't stink so. John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

Main problem with these pans is they don't cover the sump! Just made to replace the plastic splash guard... |
